Or, if you are not using tables, you could do the same thing with MOD but what you have is two variables, and you use something like this in each loop
<if colum 1 > <cfsavecontent variable="column1item"> display code goes here </cfsavecontent> <cfset col1var = col1var & column1item> <else> <cfsavecontent variable="column2item"> display code goes here </cfsavecontent> <cfset col2var = col2var & column2item> </if> Then you just output the content in each div: <div id="leftcolumn"> #col1var# </div> <div id="rightcolumn"> #col2var# </div> just food for thought.
