Categories display 2 cols

I'm trying to display the categories in 2 cols without space between categories.

Original:

   Arts  (6)                                  Diecast (3)
> Painting (1)                                > Plastics (0)

I'm work with the file browse.tpl but I don't know what is the tag for smarty to display without space.

browse,tpl

PHP Code:

    <table class="main" width="100%">
        <tr>
            <!-- <th>{$smarty.const.LANG_BROWSE_CATEGORY}</th> -->
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td>
            
            <table width="100%" >
            {section name=tr loop=$data step=$cols}
            <tr>
                    {section name=td start=$smarty.section.tr.index loop=$smarty.section.tr.index+$cols}
                    <td valign="top" >
                    <div id="entete_categorie">
                    {if $data[td]<>""}
                        {$data[td].start_link}</a>&nbsp;<!-- <img src="{$data[td].image}" border="0" alt="{$data[td].name}" /> -->
                        {$data[td].start_link}<strong>{$data[td].name}</strong></a>
                        {if $data[td].total <> ''}
                        ({$data[td].total})
                        {/if}
                        </div>
                        {$data[td].subcats}
                        <!-- {$data[td].description} -->
                    {/if}
                    &nbsp;
                    </td>
                    <td>  
                    {/section}
                    
            </tr>
            {/section}
            </table>
            
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>

No idea how to?

I don't think that this has anything to do with smarty. This seems more like standard HTML. The issue is that the code being used generates td (data cells), therefore if you have two horizontal data cells in one table row they will be the same height. If one data cell has many lines of data, the adjacent horizontal data cell will then have blank space under it, because it is in a data cell that is already a larger height.

I believe that you would either need to change the code so that it output <UL><LI> (unordered list items) OR you would need to have it output individual tables per category.

That's the approach that I would use.

Good luck and I hope that this helps you in your quest!
