how to build horizontal looping

Now that I'm using the webassist mySQLi behaviors, the Dreamweaver extension I have for creating horizontal loops doesn't work anymore, because it only recognized the older DW generated mysql recordsets. Where can I find a resource is how to build mySQLi horizontal loops?? I can't find anything online...

The simplest way to do this is using CSS

create a parent div that is the full width you want to display, then repeat a child div that uses a multiple of the number of columns to display and foot left.

for example, the parent div could be 600px, and the child div 200px to create as 3 column table.

Here is a very simplistic example:

<style type="text/css">
.ItemContainer {
	width:600px;
	overflow:hidden;
}
.ItemInfo {
	width:200px;
	float:left;
}
</style>
<div class="ItemContainer">
	<?php
while(!$rsItems->atEnd()) {
?>
	  <div class="ItemInfo">
	    <?php echo($rsItems->getColumnVal("ItemName")); ?><br><?php echo($rsItems->getColumnVal("ItemPrice")); ?>
      </div>
	  <?php
  $rsItems->moveNext();
}
$rsItems->moveFirst(); //return RS to first record
?>
</div>
