    <p>I'd like to show my search results separated in many columns, that is, in separate lists like:</p> <pre> Item 1 Item 5 Item 9 Item 2 Item 6 Item 10 Item 3 Item 7 Item 4 Item 8 </pre> <p>Following whatever way to indicate how many items should be shown per list before creating a new one.</p> <p>I'm not clear about the <code>formatItem()</code> function in the autocomplete, so not sure it can be achieved there.</p> <p>Any suggestion/guidance will be highly appreciated, including any other plugin/approach that allows me to get this result.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> <p>Edit:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul class="ui-autocomplete ui-menu ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all" role="listbox" aria-activedescendant="ui-active-menuitem" style="z-index: 1; top: -0.899994px; left: 0px; display: block; position: relative; width: 150px;"&gt; &lt;li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"&gt; &lt;a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1"&gt;Shanghai&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"&gt; &lt;a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1"&gt;Mumbai&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"&gt; &lt;a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1"&gt;Karachi&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"&gt; &lt;a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1"&gt;Delhi&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"&gt; &lt;a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1"&gt;Istanbul&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"&gt; &lt;a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1"&gt;São Paulo&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem"&gt; &lt;a class="ui-corner-all" tabindex="-1"&gt;Moscow&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>This is the auto-generated HTML by the autocomplete, and I'd like to split it, say, every 3 items in a new list so every list becomes a column.</p> <p>Maybe I'm thinking about a more complex than needed way and there's another, if that's the case, I'll appreciate any insight.</p> <p>Thanks again.</p>

    1. COseams like a css question. You will want to use `height` and `float`. Show us some `HTML` and we might help more.

Guidance
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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
