Hi Sung Fu,
I just touched a litle your solution in order to further simplify it -- several
repeating lines of code and one unnecessary variable have been eliminated:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:param name="numCols" select="4" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="multiColumn"
select="/system/subsystem_id[position() <=$numCols]">
<xsl:with-param name="numCols" select="$numCols" />
<xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="/system/subsystem_id" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template mode="multiColumn" match="subsystem_id">
<xsl:param name="numCols" select="1" />
<xsl:param name="nodes" select="/.." />
<xsl:variable name="vCurPosition" select="position()" />
<xsl:variable name="vColour">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$vCurPosition mod 2 = 1">aqua</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>red</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<tr bgcolor="{$vColour}">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="normal"
select="$nodes[position() >= $vCurPosition
and (position() - $vCurPosition) mod $numCols = 0]" />
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="subsystem_id" mode="normal">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.
