RE: dynamic HTML table generation

dynamic html tables
The usual solution for grouping into tables relies on something like

<xsl:template match="item[position() mod 5 = 1]"/>

Variables aren't allowed in the match pattern of a template rule, so you
can't parameterise this. So you need a different approach. But the same
logic can easily be translated to xsl:for-each.

<xsl:param name="cols" select="5"/>

<xsl:template match="rs:data"/>
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="z:row[position() mod $cols = 1]">
  <tr>
    <xsl:for-each select=".|following-sibling::z:row[position() &lt;
$cols]">
      <td><xsl:value-of select="@product_id"/></td>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
