The script below astounds me with its ease of
developing a neat scrollable text-list of what is
about 245 entries. I am comparing this to what was a
(4) column table using HTML/PHP......and wondering if
there are any features of text-list that would
'format' the (4) vertical columns on 'rigidly spaced'
horizontal
tabs or starting positions, which would 'beautify' the
text-list presentation. Perhaps text-list is not the
best approach?
