RE: [xsl] Displaying grid of elements in table with the position() call for input names?

---

Does this help in any way. I looks like it loops over a rows' attributes

	<xsl:for-each select="@*">
      <!--
        select="@*" is shorthand for select="attribute::*",
        in other words all attributes
      -->
        <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
      </xsl:for-each>
