scrolling table with multiple row-select?

[Warren Pollans]

Hello,

I have a selectbox with 'multiple' enabled. It works fine.

My question is related to formatting the options. I want the options
to appear in three columns as though it were a scrolling table with no
borders - this is ONE selectbox where the text in the options APPEAR
in columns. I have been able to do this by using  s as padding
in each option to align the text and a monospace font to preserve the
spacing - BUT these fonts look awful (to me).

Does anyone know how to do this? I can live with the monospace font
but would prefer a more "normal" font so I need a different means of
aligning the text - as in a table.

Thanks,

Warren
