Sure, glad that I was able to help you !

It is now showing up as expected. Thanks for your help! Ashwin On Nov 11, 2:15 pm, Yogesh Agashe <yogesh.aga...@gmail.com> wrote:I have a list with 3 columns. This is the code. You just modify it a little bit for your page. <li> Name <span class='citystateinlist'>City,State</span> <span class='dateinlist'>Date</span> </li> .dateinlist{ float: right; width: 80px; } .citystateinlist{ float: right; width: 150px; } Ashwin wrote:Hi Yogesh, You gave me some food for thought! I added float:left; and width: 300px; attributes to all the <span> tags just to see how that turns out. When I do that, the <span> elements are outside the enclosing <li> elements, one below the other. I am no CSS expert, so I could be messing up somehow in that area. Can you send me a relevant snippet of the CSS that you employ for this effect?

Add a class to your span elements. In CSS, assign a width and float them left or right as per your requirement. HTH. Yogesh Ashwin wrote: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;">Tr ent</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!Ashwin- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text - --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
