Let's say you have the following source.xml:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
      <input type="checkbox" name="first"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <input type="checkbox" name="second"/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <input type="checkbox" name="third"/>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Then you can use the same transformation, with only the following change:

Replace:

       <xsl:if test="not(position() = last())">,</xsl:if>

with:

       <xsl:if
test="../following-sibling::td[input[@type='checkbox']]">,</xsl:if>
