A table would actually fit better, because I'm trying to display test  
results which have columns like:

number, tests ok, tests failed, total time

so I have to do some css magic now to display the test results exactly  
among each other....


.... but I have another question, if this is allowed in the kss  
developer list (probably more a plone users question):

I made a <div> container which gets periodically filled with job  
results.

the HTML looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<div id="job-container">
     <div class="job">some job results</div>
     <span id="last-node" />
</div>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The KSS looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#job-container:timeout {
     evt-timeout-delay: 3000;
     evt-timeout-repeat: True;
     action-server: live_kss;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

so every 3 seconds my live_kss gets called which inserts a new <div>  
as the first child into my job-container:

Finally, here my question:

Is it possible in KSS to count the child elements of  my job-container  
to prevent an overflow?
Maybe after 5 childs have been added to the container, we start to  
delete the last child for every new child added?

something like:

<PSEUDO CODE>
if ksscore.countNodes(ksscore.getHtmlIdSelector('job-container')) > 5:
     ksscore.deleteNodeBefore(
                 ksscore.getHtmlIdSelector('last-node'))
</PSEUDO CODE>


Thanks a lot and sorry if this question don't fits into this mailing  
list
