[TYPO3-english] typoscript multi-column mega-menu

[jaco graaff]

I want to split a submenu hierchy into columns for a multi-column mega-menu

the result would be something like this


subMenu001      |     subMenu003     |      subMenu005     |
   item001           |       item001           |        item001           |
   item002           |       item002           |        item002           |
subMenu002      |     subMenu004     |                                 |
   item001           |     item001             | 
|
   item002           |     item002             | 
|



html:

<div class="dropdown">
    <div class="column1">
        <h1>subMenu001</h1>
        item001
        item002
        <h1>subMenu002</h1>
        item001
        item002
    </div>
    <div class="column2">
     ....................
    </div>
</div>

I tried using:

2 = TMENU
        2.expAll = 1
        ##2.wrap = |*|odd||even|*|


OR

allWrap =|*| <1>|</1> || <2>|</2> |*|

AND THEN

##                              1st/even item                       2nd/odd 
item
allWrap =   |*|   <div class="column1">|       ||              |</div> 
|*|


but then the second closing </div> tag won't get rendered if ther are an odd 
number (3,5,7) of menu items - as in subMenu005 in the example above

I tried using the solution at:
http://www.typo3wizard.com/en/snippets/menus/menu-with-2-colors-last-menuitem-depends-on-the-menuitem-before.html
but it only targets the second last item

- I would like to do this with typoscript - but for now will use jquery 
magick (php would also have a simple solution)

Does someone have an idea of how I can do this with typoscript

Thanks
