Hello,

you can use a recursive template, an extension function tokenize (has MSXML such a function?) or the FXSL of Dimitre.

The recursive template:

<xsl:template match="valueList">
  <xsl:call-template name="tokenize">
    <xsl:with-param name="string" select="."/>
    <xsl:with-param name="delimiter" select=" "/>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="tokenize">
<xsl:param name="string"/>
<xsl:param name="delimiter"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($string, $delimiter)">
<option>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, $delimiter)"/>
</option>
<xsl:call-template name="tokenize">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string, $delimiter)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="delimiter" select=" "/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<option>
<xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
</option>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

I'm a newbie to XSL, so kindly excuse my lack of experience.  I'm using the
MSXML4 parser.

I have a Whitespace seperated list of values for a certain parameter that I
need to display into a HTML table format... ie, the "valueList" data should
be in seperate columns.  Below is part of the XML file being used.  Any
ideas, alongwith some sample code, would be appreciated.  Thanks!

<parameter name="Sensors"> <units> <unitless/> </units> <dataFormat> <string/> </dataFormat> <valueList size="4">sensorAAA sensorBBB sensorCCC sensorDDD</valueList> </parameter>
