Hi all, thanks for the replies on this. The way I've done it in the
past is to group the elements into smaller categorised lists and float
them left. As Dorayme mentioned earlier, I would arrange the lists
shortest to longest to avoid ugly wrapping problems. The problem is,
this technique only works when the order of the lists is not
important.
Another method I've used is Adrienne's solution of getting the total
items and divide them up based on the space available. The problem is,
it's messy to code and doesn't really cater for various screen
resolutions.
In my current case, I'd like to keep the lists in the original order
where possible. I know there's no quick solution but I do this sort of
stuff so often, I would be great to find any answer to the problem!
I may as well give you the url I'm working on - It's a bit of a mess
at the moment as I have the lists floated left and the containers they
are in are shrinking to default height.
