Staggering Data using DataList, Repeater, etc...

All,

I am trying to output data in two columns, from a datatable.
However, I don't necessarily want the cells to be the same size.

What I have is the Course Catalog for our university, each course
description is not the same size, but I need it to diplay in two columns to
look like our book does.

Here is a PDF of a section of our catalog for Computer Science:
https://admissions.rags.kent.edu/catalog2004/compsci.pdf

If you look on page 3 of 8, you will see the courses listing.  I need the
courses to look similar to this (don't need program descriptions that are on
previous pages.)

Currently I have a datalist, with four labels.
Subject Header, Course ID, Course Title, Course Description.

Each has a CSS style on it so it matches the styles on the page, but there
is gaps since table cells are the same size.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,

I would try and make an HTML table with one row and two columns and then
make a table for each course using the DataRepeater to get the formating
desired.

Cheers,
