    Are Selectable Columns Possible?

    I know HTML and PHP pretty well, I'm not a webmaster super expert or anything, well not in my opinion.... Here's what I've got:

    What I'm trying to make for now is just two columns of numbers side by side. However I need users to have the ability to select each column separately, (not wrapping and selecting text from the first column) As far as I can remember, this is not really possible. Am I wrong? Basically my users will be copy/pasting columns from my web table and entering them into Excel most likely. Also if there are more columns than 2 you could basically call this a table. Is there a way to make a table where you may select columns, not rows. Thanks for your time...

    I used this code which is three vertical lists in divs floated left side by side:-
    Code:
    <div>
    <div style="float: left;">
    <ul>
    <li>Col 1 item 1</li>
    <li>Col 1 item 2</li>
    <li>Col 1 item 3</li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    <div style="float: left;">
    <ul>
    <li>Col 2 item 1</li>
    <li>Col 2 item 2</li>
    <li>Col 2 item 3</li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    <div style="float: left;">
    <ul>
    <li>Col 3 item 1</li>
    <li>Col 3 item 2</li>
    <li>Col 3 item 3</li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    </div>
    I then highlighted the first column and copy/pasted into an Excel cell and the three items went into three cells one below the other - very conveniently - and without the bullet points.
    Code downloaded to my PC will be deleted in due course.
    WIN7; IE9, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari for Windows; screen resolution usually 1366*768.
    Also IE6 on W98 with 800*600 and IE8 on Vista 1440*900.
