Let me see if I can re-explain your original problem a little more clearly, so that maybe you can get a better response and so that you don't have to worry about details that you are asking about now. In the future, it would help if, for purposes of getting assistance on the list, you distilled your problem down to the simplest example, like I am trying to do here. If I remember correctly, you have a table defined in XML as 'Row' elements, with cell contents defined in attributes having names with explicit column numbers in them, like this: <Row c1="one" c2="two" c3="three"/> <Row c1="uno" c2="dos" c3="tres" c4="cuatro"/> ...and you just need to output an HTML table row for each of these, taking into account the maximum number of columns, like this: <tr> <td>one</td> <td>two</td> <td>three</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>uno</td> <td>dos</td> <td>tres</td> <td>cuatro</td> </tr> You did not say this, but I am guessing that sometimes your data skips columns, like this: <Row c2="two" c5="five" c7="seven"/> which would need to result in something like this: <tr> <td> </td> <td>two</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td>five</td> <td> </td> <td>seven</td> </tr> Is this correct? Because this is what makes the problem a lot harder, since you can't just iterate over the column attributes in sorted-by-name order and assume that the position matches the column number. In addition, I am inferring from your stylesheet that you need to be able to use an 'offset' parameter that specifies a number of initial Row elements to skip, and another variable that specifies a maximum number of Row elements to process. I am guessing that you need these things because you are invoking the transformation multiple times, once for each 'page' of data. This may or may not be wise, but I don't know enough about your application to say for sure, so I'll assume it's OK. Tell us (on the list) if this is a good summary of your problem, and if you're still having trouble figuring out a good solution. I'm sure someone (probably not me, though) will step forward and help you. Good luck. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
