<table>
<tr>
<td>line1 col1</td>
<td>line1 col2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>line2 col1</td>
<td>line2 col2</td>
</tr>
</table>

well.. that's the code for a table... so let's imagine that you want a news list on the left and the news details on the right, you could have

<table id="ProdList">
<% control Children %>
<tr>
<td><div class="newsDateTitle"><a href="$Link" title="Read more on &quot;{$Title}&quot;">$Title</a></div>
<div class="newsDateTitle">$Year</div>
<div class="newsDateTitle">$Color</div> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>$Content</td>
</tr>
<% end_control %>
</table>

is that what you wanted to do?

<div class="newsDateTitle"><a href="$Link" title="Read more on &quot;{$Title}&quot;">$Title</a></div>
<div class="newsDateTitle">$Year</div>
<div class="newsDateTitle">$Color</div>
</td>
<?
if ($i==1) echo "</tr>";
if ($i==0){ $i++; }else{ $i=0;}
?>
<% end_control %>
</table>

<td>
<div class="newsDateTitle"><a href="$Link" title="Read more on &quot;{$Title}&quot;">$Title</a></div>
<div class="newsDateTitle">$Year</div>

Tables?!?!? thats not a solution :D

If you want 2 columns whats stopping you doing

<div class="product">
Blah
</div>

<div class="product">
Blah
</div>

Then just define a width on .product like (50%) and float it left.

You cant use PHP in ss templates. You can use $EvenOdd if you only need two.. I think it would be like
<td>Blah</td>
<% if EvenOdd = Even %>
</tr>
<% end_if %>
