Drop dow list format

[Phil Barber]

I am populating a drop dow list for a recordset using a reader:
while(DR.Read())
CmbConv.Items.Add(DR["Field1"].ToString() + " "+DR["Field2"].ToString());

Is there a way to format the drop down list so that it would appear to have
two columns?

Not exactly. An HTML Select object does not have that functionality. You
could, however, fake it with a complex combination of divs and JavaScript.
I've never done it before, so I can't give you any code offhand. However, it
shouldn't be hard to figure out, assuming a good knowledge of JavaScript and
DHTML.
