3 listbox alignment on a webpage

Question

Hi

I have this scenario. I need to show 3 list boxes on a ASP.NET web page. List box A would have all the options on page load and list boxes B, C would be empty.

I want to align all three such that I can select items from A to B and A to C. So, A would be shown as a bigger listbox with B, and C as smaller boxes on to its right such that B and C are vertically aligned. Of course B and C would have their respective set of 'Add', 'Add all', 'Remove', 'Remove All' buttons.

--------------            --------------
|            |            |            |
| ListBox A  | >  >> << < | ListBox B  |
|            |            |            |
|            |            --------------
|            |            --------------
|            | >  >> << < | List Box C |
|            |            |            |
--------------            --------------

Please point me to the appropriate css style examples.

cheers
