I'm looking for a way to evenly distribute my JSON data into HTML columns.

Using javascript to pull the data

$.ajax({
    url: "url",
    dataType: 'json',
    data: "e="+escape(divID),
    cache: true,
    success: function(data) {

            var items = data;

            // ???

            $('.result').html(list);
        }
    });

Input data:

["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K"]

Expected result:

<ul>
    <li>A</li>
    <li>B</li>
    <li>C</li>
    <li>D</li>
</ul>

<ul>
    <li>E</li>
    <li>F</li>
    <li>G</li>
    <li>H</li>
</ul>

<ul>
    <li>I</li>
    <li>J</li>
    <li>K</li>
</ul>

I found a partial result here, but the output data is in console.

Any help would be appreciated.
