RE: [xsl] Looping in XSLT(old question, but maybe new problem)

Mike,

Thank you for your response. I got another issue,though.

I have the template like this:
<xsl:template match="foo">
	<table>
      	<xsl:for-each select="bar">
		<xsl:sort select="@id" data-type="number"/>
            <xsl:if test="(number(position()) mod 3) = 1">
			<tr>
                  	<td>
                        	<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"
select="someElement"/>
	                  </td>
				<td>
					<xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::bar[position()=1]">
						<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="someElement"/>
					</xsl:for-each>
				</td>
				<td>
					<xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::bar[position()=2]">
						<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="someElement"/>
					</xsl:for-each>
				</td>
			</tr>
		</xsl:if>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</table>
</xsl:template>

As you see, I sorted bar based on some rule in for-each. When I get the next
two element, how can I keep
the order? Looks to me following-sibling fetch elements based on the orginal
order in the source
file.

Thank you.
LS

Select all bar elements for processing.
In the template that matches a bar element, if position() returns
a value that when divided by 3 has a remainder of 1, generate a table row
element. Inside that element, create cells for the current node and its
first two following siblings.
