I have a huge questionaire built in CGI that appends an error to $error each time a field isn't filled in. 
if (!$q4b_inter)
{
  $error .= "q4b Interoperability was missing<br>";
}

The form has just over 100 questions and if they miss most of them, I have a HUGE list of error messages that span the page. I was wondering if there was a way to separate the errors into three columns of equal size (except the last one might be one or two less than the others) so it wouldn't all be one huge VERTICLE error message.

I guess it would have to be in a table somehow. All errors have
at the end.

Any help would be much appreciated.
