Robert,
Another way to do this is to fake a loop using the nefarious <xsl:for-each>
....
<xsl:template match="TAG">
<TABLE>
<TR ID="@ID">
<xsl:for-each select="//*[position() <= @Value]">
<TD></TD>
</xsl:for-each>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</xsl:template>
Of course, this is a truly horrible departure from the True Way and I'd
have to report to the authorities anyone I discovered doing it. (Not only
is it unconscionable heresy; it only works if the value of @Value never
gets higher than the total number of nodes in your source document.)
Cheers,
Wendell
