Hi Sam,

One way is to check if there are missing elements and add a td for each missing image.

<tr>
  <xsl:for-each select=".|following-sibling::image[position() &lt; 5]">
    <td><xsl:value-of select="concat(@name,':',.)"/></td>
  </xsl:for-each>
  <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::image[4])">
    <td>&#160;</td>
    <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::image[3])">
      <td>&#160;</td>
      <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::image[2])">
        <td>&#160;</td>
        <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::image[1])">
          <td>&#160;</td>
        </xsl:if>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:if>
    </xsl:if>
</tr>

Regards,
George

I have a node set that I need to get into a table with 5 columns and
how ever many rows there needs to be.  I have the basic code working.
The problem I have is the table is not finished when the node set is
not a multiple of 5.  Here is a same dataset:

<images>
  <image name="a">1</image>
  <image name="b">2</image>
  <image name="c">3</image>
  <image name="d">4</image>
  <image name="e">5</image>
  <image name="f">6</image>
  <image name="g">7</image>
  <image name="h">8</image>
</images>

And the XSLT:

<xsl:template match="images">
<table border="3">
<xsl:for-each select="image[position() mod 5 = 1]">
<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select=".|following-sibling::image[position() &lt; 5]">
<td><xsl:value-of select="concat(@name,':',.)"/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
</table>
</xsl:template>


I would simply like to finish off the table with the correct number of
<td>&NBSP;</td>, now do I do that?
