Table formatting with CSS

Hallo!

The data come from MySql
is there a way in which to format the table so that data can be derived by column rather than row?

For example No problem can be derived as:
horizontal align

row1 row2 row3 row4 row5
row6 row7 row8 row9 row10

PHP:

the outcome above use the following code:

$record_count = 0;  //Keeps count of the records echoed.
$sql_result = mysql_query ("SELECT notice FROM notice ORDER BY notice_id DESC");
while ($row=mysql_fetch_row($sql_result))
{
    //Check to see if it is time to start a new row
    //Note: the first time through when
    //$record_count==0, don't start a new row
    if ($record_count % 5==0 AND $record_count != 0)
    {
        echo '</tr><tr>';
    }

    echo '<td valign=top>';
    
    //Echo out the entire record in one table cell:
    for ($i=0; $i< count($row); $i++)
    {
        echo $row[$i];
    }

    echo '</td>';
    
    //Indicate another record has been echoed:
    $record_count++;
}

PHP:

But I want to go in the data column like this:
vertical align

row1   row6
row2   row7
row3   row8
row4   row9
row5   row10

PHP:

Is there such a possibility with PHP or CSS?

Thanx!

 

Hi
Still this open ?

 

Using the same code as you've used you could add this to your CSS:

td { display:block; width:50%; }
tr { float:left; }

Code (markup):

Change the width to a value you want.
