Split product attributes into columns

Hi,

Can someone please help me break up a list of product attributes into two columns. The list is very long here and I would like it to display side by side iin tow columns instead of going down the page here:

http://www.bequjuice.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8_11&products_id=45

There is a similar situation in this product, but instead of it being one type of attribute, it's multiple attributes running down the page:

http://www.bequjuice.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8_10&products_id=42

Any suggestions on how to fix this up would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't looked/thought hard about this, but some ideas come to mind of things that might help resolve the issue: css may allow each attribute to follow the previous resulting in a sort of columnar effect, the applicable attributes file (sorry, forgot which does the display, but it can be found if chase down through some of the product display templates) could be modified to build a sort of table to give your two columns, would want/need to figure out how you want to populate it though and then apply css to the table.

There may be a plugin that addresses it, on which I am not sure, but would hope/think there might be something.

May not be much help, but maybe someone has more info that can..

Look for Flexible Attributes in Plugins (link in my sig).
