Yes, I know that this is off-topic, but I haven't been able to find info on this anywhere else, so I go to what I consider the most reliable knowledge source I know... PM.
I'm fairly new to XSLT and have a problem.
I have a page that includes the following nodes:
<xsl:template name="deptIndex">
<xsl:variable name="colCount" select="3"/>
<xsl:element name="p">
Department Index
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element name="table">
<xsl:for-each select="pcr_report/info/department[position() mod $c
+olCount = 1]">
<xsl:element name="tr">
<xsl:apply-templates select=". | following-sibling::pcr_report
+/info/department[position() < $colCount]"
mode="deptIndexTD"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="department" mode="deptIndexTD">
<xsl:element name="td">
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('#', .)"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
These nodes display an index of departments at the top of a larger page.
Currently they display simply as a very long vertical list.
I need them to display in 5 columns like this:
Dept1 Dept5 Dept9 Dept13 Dept17
Dept2 Dept6 Dept10 Dept14 Dept18
Dept3 Dept7 Dept11 Dept15 Dept19
Dept4 Dept8 Dept12 Dept16 Dept20
I've googled 'till I just can't google no more, and I've come up wish zilch.
Anyone know how to do this?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
