to surround those values with in order to display them in that line? (If
you're producing an HTML table, that would be <tdelements.) What does
the line have to be surrounded with to make it display as a line? (If
you're producing HTML, that would be a <trelement.)

understand what you mean. do you have any sample codes for that?

for information. In particular, IBM's site has many good tutorials and
articles, and the XSLT FAQ website has many examples worth studying.

Anybody else can help me out with this question? I know my knowledge
about xsl are really poor, but it is imposible for me to learn all
those stuff in one day. I will take some time to learn it step by
step. but for this particular question, I really need people with
experience give me some clue on how to deal with it. Thanks a lot!- Hide quoted text -

Just a few days ago Julian Reschke and David Carlisle discovered a
technique, which allows to specify exslt:node-set() in a way that it can be
used with the MSXML xslt processor:
