Creating 2 columns with DL, DT, and DD's?

[jag5311]

I am forming a databased processed list using a DL with DT and DD's.

Its going to be a decent sized list, and I would like to have it so a 2nd column is created.

Regarding css, how would I get it to work with the following

<dl id="categoryname">
<dt>Blah Title</dt>
<dd>blah item</dd>
<dd>blah item</dd>
<dd>blah item</dd>
....

<dt>Blah Title 2</dt>
<dd>blah item</dd>
<dd>blah item</dd>
<dd>blah item</dd>
....

</dl>

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Bryan

I asked that same question here awhile back. =)
Check out the css for this page: http://www.bluevolume.com/cst/a-bm.htm

ooooooh, nice site btw.

I will look at the css tommorow. But a temporary fix, which turns out to work well is that I have made it so dynamically, a new DL is created, and then I just floated the dl's left and gave them a width of 280px each. And it all seemed to work out

I got my reasoning for doing this at http://superfluousbanter.org/ where he uses the following code to get his 2 columns of links for his OUTSIDE links on the right.

#sidebar ul#outsidelinks {
list-style:none;
font-size:10px;
line-height:18px;
margin:-5px 0 10px 12px;
padding:0;
width:225px;
}
#sidebar ul#outsidelinks li {
float:left;
width:100px;
padding-left:12px;
background:url(../i/bg_listitem_orangeongreen.gif) no-repeat 0 50%;
}
