Right im trying to output into a table format an element from my xml file so that it goes ----> then inserts a new row after say 5 elements. this is what i've got so far but because of the </TR><TR> which will always logically produce valid xml it wont work. Any ideas i have a *tight* deadline and im panicing


<TABLE><TR>
<xsl:for-each select="./single_system_master_report/run_context">
   <TD width = "20%">
    <xsl:element name="A">
        <xsl:attribute name="HREF"><xsl:value-of select="./explored_system/hostname" />.<xsl:value-of select="./explored_system/hostid" />.contents.html</xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:value-of select="./explored_system/hostname" />
    </xsl:element>
    </TD>


<xsl:when test="position() mod 5 = 1">
        </TR><TR>
    </xsl:when>



</xsl:for-each>
</TR></TABLE>

I don't normally respond when people are in a hurry, because that's not a good time to learn.

Breathe deeply, relax, and carefully read http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7450.html, especially the first entry.

Take care when following Mr. Kay's link, the forum's URL spotter erroneously includes the trailing comma after the page name.
