Hi there.

Concerning display:table-...: I've got a <ul> with, say, 20 <li>s and I want it to be displayed as a 4 x 5 table. Is there any possibility (theoretically AND/OR usable with actual browser support) to realize that with CSS?
I thought of sth. like:

ul :nth-child( 4n ) :before { display:table-row }

would that work (for I can't test due to lacking browser support :-( )? 

Regards
