DAP Newspaper report style (2 columns)?

I want to create a report on the web using Data Access Pages. I want the data to flow top-down left-right (rather than left-right top-down). Consequently, the page will contain 2 columns. I'm not sure how to do this.

Here's what I am attempting. I created a banded page that contains my data (page1). I created a second page that contains an iframe whose source equals "page1". When page1 finishes loading the data in the iframe, a new iframe will be created whose source will also be "page1". A server filter will be applied that returns the records that fall below the height of the first iframe. And so on...

My question is, how do I know when page1 has completed loading the data in the iframe? Or how do I tell page1 to stop loading data once it has gone beyond the height of the iframe?

There has to be a better doing this. Do you know of any?
