Answer 1

I recently had the need to use multi-column lists in a project. We're using CSS3 columns and ran into several little gotchas along the way. I posted a write-up about it here: http://bit.ly/css3lists

The short of it is this:

1. Only set the number of columns and the width between, not the column widths.
2. If you don't want content to break over multiple columns, you'll need to add some extra markup to make the lists render correctly.
