avex,
With an arbitrary "splitting limit" of 700, something like this should work.
Haven't tested it should point you in the right direction.
<cfif len(yourText) GT 700>
<cfset temp = int(len(yourText)/2)>
<cfset boundary = Find(" ", yourText, temp)>
<cfelse>
<cfset boundary = len(yourText)>
</cfif>
<table>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="50%">#left(yourText, boundary)#</td>
<cfif len(yourText) GT 700>
<td valign="top" width="50%">#right(yourText,
len(yourText) - boundary + 1)#</td>
</cfif>
</tr>
</table>

Subject: text split into 2 columns
Hi everyone.
I am doing a site where I have a body of text (about a paragraph or two).
What I want to do is to to split this into 2 columns instead of one.
Can this be done dynamically?
Eg, If the first column exceeds so many characters, then output the
remainder in the second to get the text column effect?
any help would be great!
thanks
chad
