    <p>I've pulled the success function out for readability. The key here is we're putting all the options in an array and then breaking them up into two UL's depending on the number of options they are. Instead of appending them to a premade UL, we're putting two new UL's inside a div: <code>&lt;div id='ulContainer'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</code>.</p> <p>I've actually tested this to make sure it works. You can then apply whatever css you need to make the two UL's display how you'd like.</p> <p>I tested this before posting and it works; with a list of 5 items in your XML you'll get a list of 3 and a 2nd list of 2.</p> <p>Your problem seems to be less one of programming and more one of logic. When you encounter a difficulty, take the time to make a list of what you'd like to accomplish in small steps and that will guide you to how to make it happen in code. Rather then say "I need two UL's produced from a list of options" try:</p> <ul> <li>Get a list of options</li> <li>Determine the number of items in that list</li> <li>Make an UL out of the first half</li> <li>Make an UL out of the second half</li> </ul> <p>and if you don't know how to accomplish one of those specific tasks, post a question.</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "data.xml", dataType: "xml", success: parseData }); function parseData(XML) { // get an array of all the option tags from your XML var options = $(XML).find('option'); // figure out the half-way point var half_point = Math.floor(options.length/2); // we're going to create our HTML in here var spool = ''; for(x=0; x&lt;=half_point; x++) { spool += '&lt;li&gt;' + $(options[x]).attr('make') + '&lt;/li&gt;'; } $('#ulContainer').append('&lt;ul&gt;' + spool + '&lt;/ul&gt;'); // and make your second UL spool = ''; for(x=half_point+1; x&lt;options.length; x++) { spool += '&lt;li&gt;' + $(options[x]).attr('make') + '&lt;/li&gt;'; } $('#ulContainer').append('&lt;ul&gt;' + spool + '&lt;/ul&gt;'); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
