I have a details veiw and when you open it there are far too many fields so it ends up disappearing off the screen. I would like to split the view into two columns, and I tried to add a DIV with css class halfaway down the details view but it dosen't like
divs being there. Is there a way round it? You can do it with FormView but i prefer DetailsView
DetailsView renders to table with tr and td. It will make a new tr for each field. Not easy to make two columns in that. It was made for ease of use for standard cases. Yours is not standard, and doesn't fit.
Superguppie.

convert the detailsview to template column and then arrange the columns with the help of table or div.

If you're really have too many fields，you can put it into a panel so as to let it have a scrollable bar in horizonal or vertical.
Another way is to add a style to the detailsView:
style="overflow:auto;height:expression(document.body.offsetHeight-X);width:expression(document.body.offsetWidth-X)"
