List Overflow Horizontally into Columns

I've been searching for hours, without any luck. This time I'm guessing there either is no solution using just CSS, or if there is, nobody's heard of it and it's hardly support.

But anyway, I was wondering if there were any CSS declarations where if a number of list items had reached the end of a box, say 500px tall, and then overflowed into a second column.

So basically something like this:

___________________________
•List Item 1    •List Item 5
•List Item 2    •List Item 6
•List Item 3    •List Item 7
•List Item 4    •List Item 8
___________________________

Any ideas?

Never mind, I found what I was looking for -

Looks like it won't be supported for a while though...

 

CSS3 is far away from us. I use javascript + grid to solve this.
