Wrapping lists into columns *

Question

I'm using ColdFusion to populate a template that includes HTML lists (<ul>'s).

Most of these aren't that long, but a few have ridiculously long lengths and could really stand to be in 2-3 columns.

Is there an HTML, ColdFusion or perhaps JavaScript (I have jQuery available) way to do this easily? It's not worth some over-complicated heavy weight solution to save some scrolling.

Answer

So I dug up this article from A List Apart CSS Swag: Multi-Column Lists. I ended up using the first solution, it's not the best but the others require either using complex HTML that can't be generated dynamically, or creating a lot of custom classes, which could be done but would require loads of in-line styling and possibly a huge page.

Other solutions are still welcome though.
