How to "break" a row? (maximizing number of <td>-s vertically)

[heeeep72]

Hi All,

I have a row in a table, that uses "forEach" :

					<table>
						<tr>
							<c:forEach items="${something}" var="somethingelse">
								<td>
								...
								<td>
							</c:forEach>
						</tr>
					</table>

I can have a very long row this way if there are many items. Let's say, I want to have 6 <td>-s at a maximum in a row vertically. The 7th one should come under the first one. ...and so on. What is the best way (is there a way?) to solve this?
(...maybe something with mod / div ?)

Any help appreciated.

You'd need to ask this in the JSP forum as it's server-side logic you're after, not client-side.

Hope this helps,

Just as a suggestion, if you're stacking things (like a gallery) in a row and want to cut them at some point and stack more in another row then you're not using table for tabular data. Floating such elements will provide a much better solution and will be much easier to implement.

Hi,

Sorry for mistakenly posting into the wrong forum. Is there a way to move this thread to the JSP forum? Anyway, I repeat my question there. Vragabond! thx for your suggestion! I will try to look after Floating

Just to let you know: the float worked out perfectly: it made just what i wanted .

<div style="float:left;">

Thx to Vragabond for the idea and also to Chris Hunt for the example.
