> Subject:  Need Help with XSL Multicolumn Item Display
> 
> Hello,
> 
> I have an XML with data like the following and I need to 
> display this info
> in a multicolumn table. Suppose I have 20 items, I want to 
> display in each
> row 4 items with the respective title, price, currency, etc. I already
> have the XSL with the respective table layout display, the 
> only thing I
> need is just to display 4 in a row so the page will be smaller and the
> user won't have to scroll down and down to see all the items.. The
> solution I need is like a row gallery (4 in a row) insead of 
> a row list (1
> in a row).
> 
> Hope anyone can help me with this.. I will appreciate so much 
> the help.
