This is my first post to css-d so please bear with me. I have a very specific 
situation and I feel there definitely must be a solution that I just can't 
figure out.

Server-side code is generating a list of items for me, and I want to display 
the list in fixed-height, fixed width columns, i.e. items would go down the 
first column and then flow to the right. I am picturing an article flowing 
between linked textboxes in Quark or Pagemaker.

Here is a page that describes what I want to do...

Basically I want the list to show as many items as will fit in a certain pixel 
or em height in column 1, and then continue to the right. This List Apart 
article comes very close to what I want to do
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlists

but I don't want to do a fixed number of items in each column; I want to fill 
up as much of the column as possible before flowing to the next column. I am 
completely flexible as far as markup goes...i.e. if something about UL/LI is 
getting in the way I can do nested divs etc. 

Thanks in advance
