I have an xmls in the following form

<ADDRESSES count="5">

  <CITY>BUFFALO</CITY>
  <STATE>NY</STATE>
  <ZIP>14207</ZIP>
</ADDRESS>
....
....
</ADDRESSES>

I want to transform this to a table with 3 columns in a row.
(information from each <ADDRESS> node goes to one cell). how can
I achieve this?

By starting at every third one and processing three at a time.

Here is my xsl which generates a table with only one column.
        <table border="0" width="804" cellspacing="0">
                <xsl:for-each select="ADDRESS" >

<xsl:for-each select="ADDRESS[ position() mod 3 = 1 ]">

<tr>

<xsl:for-each select=". | following-sibling::ADDRESS[position()<3]">

                                <td height="96" width="267" class="MLFont">
...
My Question: Is it possible to generate a <tr> and </tr> element only
if, it is a third element.

Yes, above you can see that every third address is selected for the row, the row is started, then the given address and two following addresses produce columns.

I hope this helps.
