yes, that's the mistake i made , which used as
<td rowspan="{Rowspan}">
i am getting the display with no error but not the desired one, seems like rowspan doesn't takes effect;
i leave the full code i am using, if anyone has time please go through it;
<xsl:template match="Instance">
<xsl:call-template name="Instance">
<xsl:with-param name="previous" select="/.."/>
<xsl:with-param name="listNodes" select="."/>
