    Hi –

    My apologies if this has been answered, I searched the forum and checked through the docs and googled it, and couldn’t find it – feel free to point me at it if I missed it.

    I have a simple two-column table where one column contains names, and the other contains an associated number (in this case, the number of years the person has been associated with something). The basic normal display output shows one table with the two columns.

    My question is this: Is there a way with custom CSS to display the output in two tables, side by side, with the two columns in each? For example, say I have 40 entries in my database. Entries 1-10 would be in the first page left side table, 11-20 in the right side table (instead of on page 2), 21-30 in page 2 left side, 31-40 in page 2 right side, and so on. If you need to see an example of how I would like it to look, I can send you a link though I’d prefer to send it privately rather than posting it on a public forum.

    The trick is this: I’m working with an enterprise installation where I don’t have access to the php files or theme templates, and the only pre-installed extension I have is DataTables Sorting Plugins. The custom CSS is all I have access to.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    No, sorry, I’m not aware of a CSS solution for this ??
    Tables on the web are limited to a real column layout. Columns can not be broken up like that ?? You would need other HTML tags for that (or split the table into multiple tables manually).

    Regards,
    Tobias
