Display problem 1

[calista]

This is probably simple, but I'm drawing a blank. Here is my form element as it stands:

<FORM ACTION=&quot;#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#&quot; METHOD=&quot;POST&quot; ENABLECAB=&quot;No&quot; ENCTYPE=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY=&quot;GetPeople&quot;>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;checkbox&quot; NAME=&quot;Receipient&quot; VALUE=&quot;#PersonID#&quot;<CFIF LISTFIND(MailingList,PersonID) GT 0> checked</CFIF>>  #PersonFirstName# #PersonLastName#<BR>
</CFOUTPUT><BR>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;submit&quot; NAME=&quot;Submit&quot; VALUE=&quot;Edit List&quot;>     
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;reset&quot; NAME=&quot;Reset&quot; VALUE=&quot;Clear Selections&quot;>
</FORM>

This displays a rather long list of checkboxes with a person's name beside each one. What I would like to do is display them table style, maybe 3 names across like this:

Name 1 Name 2 Name 3
Name 4 Name 5 Name 6
Name 7 Name 8 Name 9
|
|
V
etc.

Of course, I still want the checkbox for each one. I've considered loops, arrays and tables, but I just can't seem to figure out how to do this. As soon as someone tells me, I'm sure I'll say &quot;Doh! Why didn't I think of that?&quot; Calista :-X

Here's one way:

Bless you, tleish! This is perfect! It took me a little while to try it because I was distracted by other priorities. (I'm sure that's never happend to you!)
