How can I make this output display in two columns rather than one long list?
<p>Currently outputs as one long list</p>

<pre><code>$output .= "&lt;div class=\"selector\"&gt;\n";
$output .= "&lt;form method=\"post\"&gt;\n";
if ($type == "new") {
    $output .= "&lt;input type=\"hidden\" name=\"type\" value=\"new\"&gt;\n";
    $output .= getPhaseDD("phase", $phase) . " &amp;nbsp; ";
    $output .= "Day:" . getDayDD($day) . " &amp;nbsp; ";
    $output .= "Number:" . getNumDD($num) . " ";
} else {
    $output .= "&lt;input type=\"hidden\" name=\"type\" value=\"existing\"&gt;\n";
    $output .= "&lt;input type=\"hidden\" name=\"phase\" value=\"{$phase}\"&gt;\n";
    $output .= "&lt;input type=\"hidden\" name=\"day\" value=\"{$day}\"&gt;\n";
    $output .= "&lt;input type=\"hidden\" name=\"num\" value=\"{$num}\"&gt;\n";
    $output .= "&lt;div&gt;Phase: {$phase}, Day: {$day}, Number: {$num}&lt;/div&gt;";
}
if ($type == "new") {
    $output .= "&lt;div&gt;&lt;textarea name=\"msg\" rows=\"8\" cols=\"50\" id=\"msg\"   onkeyup=\"javascript:countTXT(this, 'cnt', 160);\" onkeydown=\"javascript:countTXT(this, 'cnt', 160);\"&gt;" . stripslashes($msg) . "&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n";
    $output .= "&lt;div id=\"cnt\"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n";
} else {
    $output .= "&lt;div&gt;&lt;textarea name=\"msg\" id=\"msg_{$day}_{$num}\" onkeyup=\"javascript:countTXT(this, 'cnt_{$day}_{$num}', 160);\" onkeydown=\"javascript:countTXT(this, 'cnt_{$day}_{$num}', 160);\"&gt;" . stripslashes($msg) . "&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n";
    $output .= "&lt;div id=\"cnt_{$day}_{$num}\"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;\n";
}
$output .= "&lt;div&gt;\n";
if ($type == "new") {
    $output .= "&lt;input type=\"submit\" name=\"create_btn\" value=\"Create\" class=\"create_btn\"&gt;\n";
} else {
    $output .= "&lt;input type=\"submit\" name=\"update_btn\" value=\"Update\" class=\"update_btn\"&gt; \n";
    $output .= "&lt;input type=\"submit\" name=\"delete_btn\" value=\"Delete\" class=\"delete_btn\" onclick=\"javascript:return confirmDelete();\"&gt;\n";
}
$output .= "&lt;/div&gt;\n";
$output .= "&lt;/form&gt;\n";
$output .= "&lt;/div&gt;\n";
if ($type == "new") {
    $output .= "&lt;script type=\"text/javascript\"&gt;countTXT(document.getElementById('msg'), 'cnt', 160);&lt;/script&gt;\n";
} else {
    $output .= "&lt;script type=\"text/javascript\"&gt;countTXT(document.getElementById('msg_{$day}_{$num}'), 'cnt_{$day}_{$num}', 160);&lt;/script&gt;\n";
}
return $output;
</code></pre>

<p>I want to display in two columns, as there are quite a few messages being displayed, and it'll be cleaner than just one long scroll down.</p>
