fill variable width column(s) with fixed width/height 'items' dynamically

Question

Hi -

I have a 3 col layout (fixed center, var Left & Right side cols) and want to fill the 2 side cols with adsense ads as many as I can fit. I'm thinking dynamically generate the js to fill the columns (since I don't know how wide they could be and float the ads to fill it). But how do I detect with js that the column is filled (ads are fixed 200x200px) both height and width wise? I'm thinking there must be a solution already out there, preferably w/ jquery, but haven't been able to google anything so far.

Also, can I stagger the ad display because it slows the intial page load?

Thanks so much for any help!

Answer 1

Just for an FYI for anyone new to adsense - only 3 adsense ads per page. But thanks @Pointy - I was able to generate my own little fill the columns.
