One of the reasons I like the Google Suggest powered autocomplete function at Google Finance (http://finance.google.com) is because the drop choice choices appear in a tabular format with 2 columns. The left column contains the ticker symbol and the right column contains the company name. I am trying to emulate a similar effect but with 4 columns. Without thinking about customization, my first attempt involves trying to return data that looks like this from the server side
<ul> <li><span style="width:50px;">1</span><span style="width: 150px;">Jane</span><span style="width:150px;">Doe</span><span style="width:250px;">Director</span></li> <li><span style="width:50px;">2</span><span style="width: 150px;">John</span><span style="width:150px;">Doe</span><span style="width:250px;">Manager</span></li> <li><span style="width:50px;">3</span><span style="width: 150px;">Peter</span><span style="width:150px;">Trent</span><span style="width:250px;">Developer</span></li> </ul> In a regular HTML page, this has a tabular look to it. But when this content gets loaded in the autocompleter's DIV element, it gets treated just like HTML whitespace. Am I missing something here, or are there better ways of doing this? Thanks!
