pardon me if my description wasn't good....
I figured outmy problem.
all the collumns are independently size, but they all line up
by making the largest item in the, say, 2nd spot in the layout dictate what all the other layouts use for their side on the 2nd collunm...
I don't think I'm explaining my self good enough...
here's the code:
(it still needs to be cleaned up... and componentWidth needs to be dynamic)
any wordS?
