You should look into optionSplit [1]. You're going to need to mark up
every first and third item differently (e.g. if each column is a
list--there's no way that I can think of to do this with a
table--you'd wrap the first item with <ul><li>|</li>, the second with
<li>|</li> and the last with <li>|</li></ul>) Have a look in the
archives too [2]; there have been a few good threads about variations
of this idea.
