How do I Format text in a List

Im using a List as a way to display highscores.

[attachment=0:1cw1t1tu][/attachment:1cw1t1tu]

If the game loses focus the list disappears. how can I solve this?

each entry is concatenated from, name, score and date. C2 has no padding function, how can i format the text so that each entry lines up with the headings (name,points,date)

Im using ajax (request from php and mysql), and an array to store all the values.

Thanks
