** Not tested! ** <cfset myText = "a really long string of characters"> <cfset oneThird = int(len(myText) / 3)> <cfset col1 = left(myText, oneThird)> <cfset col2 = mid(myText, oneThird + 1, oneThird)> <cfset col3 = mid(myText, (2 * oneThird) + 1, len(myText) - (2 * oneThird))> Dan -----Original Message----- From: Justin Hansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 12:21 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: 3 column output Ok, here is a good one for ya. I have a database of stories and they want to display it in the browser as a 3 column, "newspaper style" display. How does the all mighty group think this could be accomplished. How could one get a story to wrap from Column 1 to 2 and 3 with HTML Tables? Is this type of linked tables available in Flash MX? Anyone... Anyone....
