repeater problem

[suzy]

hello,

i have a dataset and repeater control. i can manage to display the items in
1 column by doing something like:

<headertemplate>
<table>
</headertemplate>

<itemtemplate>
<tr>
<td>[item goes here]</td>
</tr>
</itemtemplate>

<footertemplate>
</table>
</footertemplate>

what i want to do though, is show all the items across 3 columns, ie:

item1 item2 item3
item4 item5 item6
item7 item8 item9

etc.
how can i do this? i want to try and avoid using the xsl transform method
because i want the items to be server controls (check boxes).

thanks a lot.

Hi,

You could use a datalist control instead of the repeater...it has a built in
attribute where you can specify the number of columns to be displayed
horizontally.
