Hello,

I have a page in XML that I would like to format as a table. Right now, all of the "Columns" of the table are grouped together, and I want to split them into the "Rows" of the table.

The general format of the XML document is as follows:

<ASSET>
<ATTRIBUTE name="Column1">
<VALUE>7</VALUE>
<VALUE>3</VALUE>
<VALUE>5</VALUE>
</ATTRIBUTE>

<ATTRIBUTE name="Column2">
<VALUE>10</VALUE>
<VALUE>19</VALUE>
<VALUE>123</VALUE>
</ATTRIBUTE>
</ASSET

and I would like to make a table such as:
Column1 Column2
7 10
3 19
5 123

I am new to XSLT, and have been trying to follow tutorials that I could find online. I found a way to iterate over all of the values at once and display the numbers such as "Column1 7 3 5" and "Column2 10 19 123" but don't know how to "pick-off" a single VALUE item each time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I tried iterating through a column and incrementing a counter, and then going through again to see if position() matches the counter, as follows:

<xsl:param name="numElements">0</xsl:param>

<xsl:for-each select="Attribute[./@name='Column1']/Value">
<xsl:with-param name="numElements" select="$numElements+1"/>
</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:for-each select="Attribute[./@name='Column1']/Value">
<xsl:if test="$numElements= position()">
<td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

But numElements only increments by one after I finish an entire column.

Any suggestions?

Instead of
<xsl:param name="numElements">0</xsl:param>
<xsl:for-each select="Attribute[./@name='Column1']/Value">
<xsl:with-param name="numElements" select="$numElements+1"/>
</xsl:for-each>

try something like
<xsl:param name="numElements" select="count(Attribute[./@name='Column1']/Value)"/>
