Re: [mv] Result Page

the only way I can think to do this is to create a table, and then use the
results loop ("[search-list]") to create as set of cells going horizontally
across the page.

The logic I use above has a serious flaw, though.  If you return more than 4 or
5 results, you'll have an ugly page that ppl have to scroll over to see. 
Customers aren't usually smart (at least mine aren't ;) enough to use scrolling.

My solution to this is to increase (or set) a value after X number of
horizontal cells, and then put in a new data row ("<TR>")

This idea may be hopelessly flawed, but it also might point you in the right
direction or give you an idea.  Thus, I have posted it.

I don't know [search-region] but I can confirm that it is [search list] that
does the looping.
