<p>Is there a way to "align" columns in a data repeater control? </p>

<p>I.E currently it looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>user1 - colA colB colC colD colE
user2 - colD colE
</code></pre>

<p>I want it to look like:</p>

<pre><code>  user1
   -colA
   -colB
   -colC
   -colD
   -colE


   user1



   -colD
   -colE
</code></pre>

<p>I need to columns for each record to align properly when additional
records might not have data for a given column.</p>

<p>The requirements call for a repeater and not a grid control.</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

If you have access to how many columns are mising in the repeat, then just the following as the table tag.  I you don't have access to this, can you post the source for your data repeater and what DataSource you're going against?
```
```
<td colspan='<%# MissingCount(Contatiner.DataItem) %>'>
```
```
