Check this: On the list of Top Ten XSLT FAQs, this is Number 0. With a bullet. ;-) Anyway: you're thinking in terms of tags, not nodes. XSLT, as an XML-based language, doesn't do tags. It builds result trees from source trees. This requires well-formed XML, in both the source and your stylesheet: > <xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 0"> > > </tr> > <tr> > > </xsl:if> . . . which this isn't. There are several approaches to building multi-column tables from XML; rather than reinvent the wheel, just check out the XSLT FAQ: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7450.html hth, b. | brian martinez brian.martinez@xxxxxxxxxxx | | lead gui programmer 303.357.3548 | | cheap tickets, part of trip network fax 303.357.3380 | | 6560 greenwood plaza blvd., suite 400 englewood, co 80111 | | cendant travel distribution services http://www.cheaptickets.com/ | XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
