Columns in a form select element

Hi all,

Can this be done. I am wanting to have columns in my forms select element. I
have data of varied length from three fields. Can this be done, or should I
try and stuff spaces into the select element to asume columns

Thought about a fixed-pitch font like Courier?

Oh, well, then no. I think you wanted to know if there was a way of doing
"FIELD1\tFIELD2" - there isn't (www.w3.org is your friend). Space-padding is
your friend also.

And this isn't PHP after that.

I noticed that Message-ID:
<PYbxc.772$ss7.6271035@news-text.cableinet.net> from Garp contained the
following:
[color=blue][color=green]

If the data will fit in columns, you could find the length of the
longest element and use that to calculate the spaces to add.
