How to create Dynamic Table with more than one column?

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to learn Dreamweaver. I'm trying to display 2 units from my database in the same row then I would like go to next row.
By default DW shows single record in each row. Is it possible to display more than one?
Thank you

Of course. You will not name the divs differently, they will all be <div class="RowContainer">  (in the example below) and the reason they will look like
1 2
3 4
5 6
is because they will "stack themselves up". That is, the first will float to the top left, the next will float up next to it. The third will not fit on the top line floating next to two, so it will start a new row. Four will float up next to it, and five will start the new row.
Think of the string of divs (don't put wordspaces between them...) as a continuous ribbon or chain of divs. That is a slightly poor analogy, since the second and third won't be next to each other, as a chain or a ribbon might be. But you should be able to have as many divs as you have records... you define the div in the CSS and in your page markup really only show one div.
Here's a modified example from one of my files:
<div spry:region="ds1" class="...">
  <div spry:repeat="ds1" class="RowContainer"> <!--this is the div that you would style to float -->
    {category} {title} {medium}<br>
     {price} {sold} {date}<br>
     {sold_to_purchase_price}
  </div>
</div>
