3 colums in equal lenght

Hello,

I've got 3 colums on my website. I want all of them to be almost equal in
lenght ( I may be a little bit different, but not to much). I'm now
generating a PHP website where one colum is sometimes a lot longer then the
other!

I've got 5 to 15 articles from different sizes to display on the website,
how can get the three colums almost even in lenght??

The articles may be placed random on the site.

thnx,

PRCR

Could you surround each bit with

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="33%">Col 1</td>
<td width="33%">Col 2</td>
<td width="34%">Col 3</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hello,

I need a solution for calculating and lining out the height (not widht)

Thnx

I noticed that Message-ID: <d3rvgr$ln1$1@reader08.wxs.nl> from Procor
contained the following:

Is it possible to flow an article from one column to another?

If so you could join all articles together then do a string length and
divide by three (splitting on a space)

Or how about sorting articles into order of length then doing:

article 1	  article2	  article3
article 6	  article5	  article4
article 7	  article8	  article9
article 12  article11  article10

and so on.  It should even things up a bit.
