I have two questions about the <DIR> code (directory list). First, as I read
the spec, I am led to expect this feature to yield two columns of text when
laid out roughly as follows:
<DIR>
<LI>Text to 20 chars<LI>Text to 20 chars
<LI>Text to 20 chars<LI>Text to 20 chars
<LI>Text to 20 chars<LI>Text to 20 chars
</DIR>
However, when I've done this and viewed the results in my browser (AIR
Mosaic), I get something that's more like the results of a <ul> unordered
list, laid out in one column with bullets. Can you explain?
Second, if it's true that the results should yield two columns, is it also
possible to lay out three or more columns?
Many thanks.
