[xsl] RE: Carlos problem

Carlos,

The following works OK, but it's not very pretty and I have not tried it work sorting. I'm sure someone will come up with something better.

XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<table>
			<tr>
				<td>name</td>
				<td>value</td>
				<td>name</td>
				<td>value</td>
				<td>name</td>
				<td>value</td>
			</tr>
			<xsl:for-each select="/ARTS/ART">
				<xsl:if test="position() mod 3 = 1 or position()=1">
					<xsl:call-template name="Make3ColumnRow">
						<xsl:with-param name="FirstItemPositionNo">
							<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
						</xsl:with-param>
					</xsl:call-template>
				</xsl:if>
			</xsl:for-each>
		</table>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template name="Make3ColumnRow">
		<xsl:param name="FirstItemPositionNo"/>
		<tr>
			<td>
				<xsl:value-of select="/ARTS/ART[position()=$FirstItemPositionNo]/NAME"/>
			</td>
			<td>
				<xsl:value-of select="/ARTS/ART[position()=$FirstItemPositionNo]/VALUE"/>
			</td>
			<td>
				<xsl:value-of select="/ARTS/ART[position()=$FirstItemPositionNo+1]/NAME"/>
			</td>
			<td>
				<xsl:value-of select="/ARTS/ART[position()=$FirstItemPositionNo+1]/VALUE"/>
			</td>
			<td>
				<xsl:value-of select="/ARTS/ART[position()=$FirstItemPositionNo+2]/NAME"/>
			</td>
			<td>
				<xsl:value-of select="/ARTS/ART[position()=$FirstItemPositionNo+2]/VALUE"/>
			</td>
		</tr>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

OUTPUT (look like):

name value name value name value 
1  11  2  22  3  33  
4  44  5  55  6  66  
7  77  8  88  

cheers

Malcolm
