Topic: Lists side by side question (solved in record speed)

[Sara Nilsson]

Hi cuties.

Is there a way to neatly have two lists side by side.

ie

• test
• text

and then one more of those but to right of it in a neat order?

Sounds like you need a table!

Not sure if you figured it out yet but were you looking for something like this?

Ah, I finally found you in the wild!  So not to get onto geek level discussions of tables I don't understand why you added the middle portion of all the cells - are you doing it to add extra spaces between the two columns of lists?  Why not just do a single cell with a bunch of spaces?  You could just do:

Code: [Select]

[table]
[tr]
[td][list]
[li]Test[/li]
[li]Text[/li][/list][/td]
[td][list]
[li]Test[/li]
[li]Text[/li][/list][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]Extra Row[/td]
[td]Extra Row[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

To get this:

Header #1		Header #2
Test Text		Test Text
Extra Row		Extra Row

I also added the extra rows on top and bottom to highlight the spacing that the list tag adds above and below the list.

I'm often on Elliquiy so anyone is welcome to message me.

I read your tutorial. In the end, I prefer my method. Of course, people are welcome to do whatever they want. The main point is to make tables less daunting.
