How to determine end of the page or beginning of a page in XSL

Hi,
I have a requirement to display a horizontal line between the text as shown below in a table using XSL

aababfffsdfdf
ffssgdgfdgfgfd
________________________

But the horizontal line shouldn't display if it is the last row of the page or first row of the page. How do we achieve this in XSL. I have been struggling to find the solution, but I couldn't.I appreciate your help in advance.

Thanks a lot,
xsl_usr

I assume you have a loop somewhere? At the beginning of it, before showing each row, check if position()>1: if so, include a divider (be it dashes or an <hr> or whatever).

I tried, but it is giving me error when I use it at the beginning of the loop. Please suggest any ideas.

Thanks,

Idea: post what you have and the error message you're receiving.

This followup toJeni Tennison's Beginning XSLThas been updated to accomodate the revised XSLT standard. Part one of this book introduces XML and XSLT at a comfortable pace, and gradually demonstrates techniques for generating HTML (plus other formats), from XML. In part two, Tennison applies theory to real-life XSLT capabilities-including generating graphics.
