Hi Manfred,
Thanks again. I will debug the xslt to understand
exactly what it is doing. Then I will write the
javascript test harness to test the speed and let you
know the outcome.
Cheers

Hi,
In addition to what Michael already discussed:

Where is this template being called from?
<xsl:template match="Col">
<td colspan="{$msrs}">

</xsl:template>
It's called from the "apply-set" template
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$set"/>
</tr>
With each recursion, a new $set variable is used,
which gets its
initial value here:
<xsl:with-param name="set" select="$set/*"/>
The new set of nodes is selected to contain all the
child elements
(note the /*) of the nodes in the current set. On
the very last
recursion $set contains the "Col" elements and those
match the
template in question.
The fact that there are no more child elements is
used to stop the
recursion and get the call closed. If you look at
the point in
"apply-set" where we called it again
<xsl:call-template name="apply-set">
<xsl:with-param name="set" select="$set/*"/>
</xsl:call-template>
and where we return from the "active" call, you see
that "apply-set"
has already done all it should do, so closing it
silently.
Hope this helps,
Manfred

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your input.
I will debug the xslt and see if I can undertand
what
is going on.
