Yes, the column-first representation of the data is somewhat
counter-intuitive, and normally unhelpful.
However it's not a big deal. Here's a solution - someone may come up
with a cleaner, pure-recursion one, but this works.
D:\xmlSchema>type t.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<field name="field1">
<string>field1.row1</string>
<string>field1.row2</string>
<string>field1.row3</string>
<string>field1.row4</string>
</field>
<field name="field2">
<string>field2.row1</string>
<string>field2.row2</string>
<string>field2.row3</string>
<string>field2.row4</string>
</field>
<field name="field3">
<string>field3.row1</string>
<string>field3.row2</string>
<string>field3.row3</string>
<string>field3.row4</string>
</field>
</root>
D:\xmlSchema>type t.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<!-- main body and loop -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Results</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<!-- get horizontal - <xsl:for-each> is inside the <tr> -->
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="//field">
<th>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@name"/>
</th>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
<!-- get vertical - <tr>s are inside the <xsl:for-each> -->
<xsl:for-each select="//field[1]/string">
<tr>
<xsl:call-template name="row">
<xsl:with-param name="row-no" select="position()"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<!-- do a row here - use parameter to get position() into pattern -->
<xsl:template name="row">
<xsl:param name="row-no"/>
<xsl:for-each select="//field/string[position() = $row-no]">
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
