Outputting columned UL tags

Andy, Beautiful news for you!!! You can use either method and your 'display' will be correct.  Loop over a <td> in a <table> or loop over a <li> in a <ul> that is formatted through CSS. The CSS method's main benefit to users is that the code is 'accessible' to screen readers, but you will need to have more than a cursory knowledge of HTML and CSS concepts. (Not a bad idea to 'bone up' on this if you don't have it already, the future of design is dependant on them) If you are just trying to make a client happy, you can: <cfset loopcount = 12> <cfset loopbreak = ceiling(loopcount/3)> <table>     <tr>         <td>             <cfloop from="1" to="#loopcount#" index="currloop">                 #yourARRAY/yourQUERY[currloop]#<br />                 <cfif currloop mod loopbreak eq 0>                     </td>                     <td>                 </cfif>             </cfloop>         </td>     </tr> </table> You should keep in mind though, there are a 'ton' of ways to accomplish what you are looking to do.  The best way is the way that makes the most sense to you and your client.
