I have an ordered list which is 19 entries long (but could change and be more or less). I'm listing it on a drop down menu but because of its length the column is dropping below the fold of the page. 

I'd like to create a separate column (ul or div) to either divide the list into 2 or 3 equally, or have set list sizes e.g. max 7 per list.

Any ideas? Current code:

```
<div id="colour" class="dropmenudiv">
<?php
$sql = "select * from rug_colours where id <> 0 and active = 1 order by name";
$rs = $database->query($sql);
$index = 0;
foreach($rs as $v) {
    echo "<a href=\"//$base_url/?action=search&colour=".$v['id']."\" >".$v['name']."</a>";
}
?>

```
