To display data in multiple pages using XSL.

Introduction

Below is a way to display your xml in multiple pages with Prev and Next links. You could customize it to display any number of entries on a page. It takes in 2 parameters that could be passed as querystrings to the page.

Page - should hold the value of which page is currently displayed.
PageSize - should hold the value of how many entries should be displayed in a page.
_dirresult - replace this with the url to the page that does the transformation

Note: First page id is 0

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="<a href="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform</a>">
<xsl:output method="html" version="3.2" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
<xsl:param name="Page" select="0" />
<xsl:param name="PageSize" select="1" />
 
<xsl:template name="results" match="/">


<xsl:variable name="mycount" select="count(root/customer)"/>
<xsl:variable name="selectedRowCount" select="floor((number($numberOfRecords)-1) div $recordsPerPage)+1"/>


      <xsl:for-each select="root/customer">
       <!-- Pagination logic -->
       <xsl:if test="position() &gt;= ($Page * $PageSize) + 1">
        <xsl:if test="position() &lt;= $PageSize + ($PageSize * $Page)">


         <!-- Do display here -->
         
        </xsl:if>
       </xsl:if>
      </xsl:for-each>


      <!-- Prev link for pagination -->
      <xsl:choose>
       <xsl:when test="number($Page)-1 &gt;= 0">&#160;
        <A>
         <xsl:attribute name="href">_dirresult?page=<xsl:value-of select="number($Page)-1"/>&amp;pagesize=<xsl:value-of 
select="$PageSize"/></xsl:attribute>
          &lt;&lt;Prev
        </A>
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:otherwise>
        <!-- display something else -->
       </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
      
      <xsl:if test="$selectedRowCount &gt; 1">
       &#160;<b class="blacktext"><xsl:value-of select="number($Page)+1"/>&#160;of&#160;<xsl:value-of 
select="number($selectedRowCount)"/></b>&#160;
      </xsl:if>
               
      <!-- Next link for pagination -->
      <xsl:choose>
       <xsl:when test="number($Page)+1 &lt; number($selectedRowCount)">&#160;
        <A>
         <xsl:attribute name="href">_dirresult?page=<xsl:value-of select="number($Page)+1"/>&amp;pagesize=<xsl:value-of 
select="$PageSize"/></xsl:attribute>
          Next&gt;&gt;
        </A>
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:otherwise>
        <!-- display something else -->
       </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>

   
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
