Columns of text without tables (aligned) 1

[kennedymr2]

I have a very large list of data on a web page
ie. there are 5 columns of text.
At the moment i am using a table to align the text.
The result id a very slow loading page.
Is there a way of creatying the page without a table, and still maintain the text alignment on the page

Appreciate any help.

If you really want to have Multiple Columns with CSS it's very possible

Thanks for your reply.

Would you have a small sample page to show how this is done
I have never used css

If what you are presenting is tabular data then it may well be a better idea to keep using a table.

Did you note that the words "Multiple Columns" in his posting are a link?

Yeah, but it's not easy to spot how you actually get to the examples that the linked page talks about. You need to look for some tiny text links in the side bar to find them.
