hi,
one more question. I'm using as in the example my bar[position()] for a
parameter, so when listing I had a number before : 1..9, but now I have
1..4, plus I have a in foo a position() 1..3. I could count the current
position if I could see somehow the foo position in <xsl:template
match="bar"/> but xsl:variable is not overwritten. do you know any method to
find the current bar position() num in the full list?

Subject: RE: [xsl] how to add a </tr> on every position() mod 4 = 0 ?
Hi,
I have a list in xml, and want to show them in a 4-column
table (in at least
2 rows). so I would like to add a closing </tr> tag to every <xsl:if
test="position() mod 4 = 0"> but I cannot write a simple
closing </tr> tag
here, because parser says it's an error. (However a <tr/>
works for output,
but it's not the clean and sytanctically the best way)
Remember, you're not writing tags with XSLT, but rather building a tree
(see <http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#data-model>). Try something in the lines of
<xsl:template match="foo">
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="bar[position() mod 4 = 1]">
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select=". | following-sibling::bar[position()
< 4]" />
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
