Format xsl results into 4-across rows?

[donok]

Sorry - a bit lost - REALLY new to xml and its friends...

I have an xsl file that is returning xml results formatted into a 220px wide rectangle. I want them to display 4-across and then start a new row.

This has to be simple, right? Do I do this in the php page, or the xsl page, or css...?

thanks for any help,

Don

I'd do it in the XSL.

Here's a template that works by finding every 4th node, using position() and mod
Then it constructs a variable containing nodes from positions n, n+1, n+2, n+3
Then it loops through these and displays a <td> for each.

I hope it works. It might need a little debugging.
Cheers

<xsl:template name="twocolumns">
 <xsl:for-each select="people[position() mod 4 = 1]">
 <tr>
 <xsl:variable name="others" select="following-sibling::option[position() &lt; 4]" />
 <xsl:for-each select=".¦$others">
 <td>
  <xsl:value-of select="person' />
 </td>
 <xsl:if test="not($others)">
  <td></td>
 </xsl:if>
 </xsl:if>
 </tr>
 </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
