>>I think you can use 2 column layout html template Using Dreamweaver
Well, I suppose that it is simply some table in which one can fill in some text
by hand.
I know haow to designe a two column page in HTML, the problem is to have it
automatically generated from a database.
What I was thinking of was more some kind of automatic process, like "start on
next column, or next page, whenever the current column is full".
I know this is coming with HTML 5, but not yet supported but current browsers.
I finally designed my own custom tag which works pretty well.
1. generate all text in one column, same width that the final desired columns
during this process, content of each bloc of data is saved in a session
structure;
2. at the end, some javascript forms a list of heights of all blocs in the one
column table, then post it by ajax to a template that will recover all blocs in
the session structure and use the height of each bloc to create multi column
pages. It can even use space between blocs to balance columns so that they all
have the same height. The template then returns the whole page to the browser
to replace the one column layout.
The problem was then to get the result in pdf format. This was acheived by a
last ajax call to return the whole HTML to the server which will genrate the
pdf in a file.
