You're trying to format a 300-column table in HTML ????

And it was OK to write one
 <td align="center"><xsl:value-of select="Password"/></td>
for every entry, but the alternative is to much typing?


Fine... for-each the bugger!

<xsl:template match="dmxpsub">
 <tr>
  <xsl:for-each select="*">
   <td align="center"><xsl:value-of select="." /></td>
  </xsl:for-each>
 </tr>
</xsl:template>

Laziness - the principal virtue of a programmer!

(not 100% sure about the select="*" depending on your parser, but
something like that. 
On my parser I can get away with <xsl:for-each><xsl:value-of
/></xsl-for-each>. I love shortcuts!)
