Pagination 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
