listbox with 2 columns and a vertical bar - how to create it in HTML?

[zalek]

Maybe someone can show me an example of a listbox with 2 columns and a
vertical bar created by HTML (JavaScript is OK).

Thanks,

Was this a failure to understand, or were you making the subtle point that
it could not be done?

Hmm. It wasn't clear in the OP but I'm guessing you said this because
you think the OP wants two columns with ONE scroll bar? Yes?

Yes. The OP after all does say "a listbox", so an example showing two
listboxes is probably not what the OP wants.
Jeff showed a kludge to accomplish this. Hopefully that will satisfy the
OP.

Looks like it was a too hasty response of mine and was a failure to take
the OP literally. I simply thought he meant to have a couple of lists
and to have some scrollbars and was not making any point beyond this.

(I am not capable of great subtlety, I am sort of Australian you see...)
