<price>$70</price>
</model>

<model>
<name>N-gage QD</name>
<price>$220</price>
</model>
</Phones>
</Brand>



and xslt is as below:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl =
"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version =
"1.0" >
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="//Phones" >
<html>
<head>
<title>Yaddayadda...</title>
</head>
<body >
<table border="1">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="model[position() mod 2 = 1]">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="./name" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="./price" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::node()[position() = 1]/name" /></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::node()[position() = 1]/price" /></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="name"/>
<xsl:template match="price"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

and my current output is as shown below
::: CURRENT OUTPUT:::
xsl transformation output:
9210i $300 9210 $250
9110 $50 8910i/7600 $300
8910 $170 8855 $110
8850/8890 $80 7110/6210 $25
8310 $110 8210 $60
8250 $80 7650 $200
7610 $550 7250i $220
which is similar to the following format..
<item1> <item2>
<item3> <item4>
<item5> <item6>
<item7><item8>
<item9> <item10>

I need to change the output format as below:
:::EXPECTED OUTPUT:::
<item1> <item6>
<item2> <item7>
<item3> <item8>
<item4><item9>
<item5> <item10>

How do i do that? anybody can help..?

Hi Nayu

If I have understood your requirements the following transformation should solve the problem
Hope this helps
Ivan

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="mid" select="round(count(/Brand/Phones/model) div 2)"/>
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td width="150">Name</td>
<td width="100">Price</td>
<td width="150">Name</td>
<td width="100">Price</td>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="Brand/Phones/model[position() &lt; $mid + 1]">
<xsl:variable name="p" select="position()"/>
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="name"/></td><td><xsl:value-of select="price"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="/Brand/Phones/model[$p + $mid]/name"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="/Brand/Phones/model[$p + $mid]/price"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
