Hi Davut, > I want to display those devices in an HTML page BUT 10 DEVICES AT A > TIME. The first issue is how you are generating the HTML pages. There are two ways that you could do it: * create the pages dynamically - pass the stylesheet the index of the first device to occur on the page, and get it to create the HTML page for the 10 devices starting from that one * create the pages statically - create all the pages in one big transform, with each page holding 10 devices I don't know which method you're using (dynamic transformation on request or static/batch transformation). But whichever you use, you'll probably want to apply templates to only the first device to appear on a particular page, and then have a template that does something with that device and the next 9. Given a device element as the current node, you can get the 10 devices starting from that one with: . | following-sibling::device[position() < 10] In other words, make a node set that consists of this node (.) and the following sibling device elements whose position (within the list of following sibling device elements) is less than 10. So the template for a device should probably look something like: <!-- only applied to the first device in a page --> <xsl:template match="device"> <xsl:for-each select=". | following-sibling::device [position() < 10]"> <!-- whatever output you want for the devices --> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> Then it comes down to how you choose the device to apply templates to, which depends on how you're generating the page. I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
