Column's in a DIV overlay? Options

[Relentless]

How do you make columns in a div overlay? For example. I'll do an outline.


BLAHblah BLAHblah
BLAHblah BLAHblah
BLAHblah BLAHblah
BLAHblah BLAHblah
BLAHblah BLAHblah


I want to make each side even. I want it in my overlay DIV.

My Overlay DIV code

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><div class="friends" style="position: absolute; left:512px; top:133px; width:234px; height:333px; overflow: auto;"> </div><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Thanks. (=

EDIT--
Well, CB jus made the words go together on my outline, but hopefully you'll get the point I'm looking for. Thanks.
