Hello, I'm fairly new to XSL and despite picking things up quickly I've hit a problem with a template I'm trying to create. I have an XML file which is structured like this: <sources> <source> <title>Title 1</title> <url>http://url1.com/</url> </source> <source> <title>Title 2</title> <url>http://url2.com/</url> </source> <source> <title>Title 3</title> <url>http://url3.com/</url> </source> <source> <title>Title 4</title> <url>http://url3.com/</url> </source> </sources> ...and so on. The XML file is dynamically generated by PHP and there are usually around 10 - 25 <source> nodes and only ever one <sources> node. What I've been trying to do is use a template to output these <sources> in to an HTML file, but and here's the rub - splitting the <sources> into two or more groups within the HTML. It'd be easier to show an example... <div> <a href="http://url1.com/">Title 1</a><br /> <a href="http://url2.com/">Title 2</a><br /> </div> <div> <a href="http://url3.com/">Title 3</a><br /> <a href="http://url4.com/">Title 4</a><br /> </div> The best I can achieve, using <xsl:for-each> is: <div> <a href="http://url1.com/">Title 1</a><br /> <a href="http://url2.com/">Title 2</a><br /> <a href="http://url3.com/">Title 3</a><br /> <a href="http://url4.com/">Title 4</a><br /> </div> Doing something like this is pretty straightforward using PHP, with counter variables and what-not. I realise that XSL works differently in this respect and was hoping that someone might have some advice for me on how I can achieve the desired results. Thanks in advance! Mike.
