Subject: create 2-columns table from an XML document
Posted By: frosty1575 Post Date: 5/16/2006 3:18:32 AM
Hi all,

I have an XML document with a list of names.

Something like this

<NAMES>
  <NAME> Jean Dupont </NAME>
  <NAME> Marie Laforêt </NAME>
  <NAME> Celine Dion </NAME>
  <NAME> Carlos Santana </NAME>
    ...
</NAMES>

I want to create an XSLT stylesheet that could output the names in a HTML table with 2 names per row

Something like this

+---------------------------------+
| Jean Dupont    | Marie Laforêt  |
| Celine Dion    | Carlos Santana |
+---------------------------------+

There can be an arbitrary number of names and I can't modify the XML structure (but I can add attributes to it if it helps)

I'm quite new in XSLT and I don't know if such a thing would be possible without too much complexity.

Thanks to anyone that could help ...
