Say your list is in a variable called "some_list". The following code will
display the list elements in a three column HTML table.
<CFOUTPUT>
<TABLE>
<CFSET col_counter = 1>
<CFLOOP INDEX="loop_counter" FROM="1" TO="#ListLen(some_list)#">
<CFIF col_counter eq 1>
<TR>
</CFIF>
<TD>
#loop_counter#. #ListGetAt(some_list, loop_counter)#
</TD>
<CFIF col_counter eq 3>
</TR>
<CFSET col_counter = 0>
</CFIF>
<CFSET col_counter = col_counter + 1>
</CFLOOP>
</TABLE>
</CFOUTPUT>
Note that this displays the elements across the rows. If you had say 150
elements and wanted the first 50 elements in the first column, then you
should do this:
<CFOUTPUT>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<CFSET col_break = Int(ListLen(some_list)/3) >
<CFSET col_counter = 1>
<CFLOOP INDEX="loop_counter" FROM="1" TO="#ListLen(some_list)#">
<CFIF col_counter eq 1>
<TD>
</CFIF>
#loop_counter#. #ListGetAt(some_list, loop_counter)#<BR>
<CFIF col_counter gt col_break>
</TD>
<CFSET col_counter = 0>
</CFIF>
<CFSET col_counter = col_counter + 1>
</CFLOOP>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</CFOUTPUT>

Subject: Long list conversion to 3-column table
Sorry about the last email subject. Forgot to change it.
Here's my question again with less subject confusion.
--------------------
I feel I'm overlooking something simple, but this one is eluding my brain.
I have a long list of items that I want to display in 3 columns instead of
one
long list.
What do I need to do to take that list and put it into 3 columns in a
regular table?
Preferrably the columns would be as close as possible to the same size, but
some offset is OK.
Thanks for the help,
Bob Wilson
