Here's a chunk of XML:

<headline>
         <furtherdetails>
                 <event id="248914" eventtypeid="94" betlive="0" 
bettingtype="Outright" numrunners="20">2003 World Cup - Outright</event>
                 <runner id="847157" handicap="0" currentprice="1.25" 
fractionprice="5/4 ">New Zealand</runner>
                 <runner id="847158" handicap="0" currentprice="1.5" 
fractionprice="3/2 ">England</runner>
                 <runner id="847159" handicap="0" currentprice="5" 
fractionprice="5/1 ">Australia</runner>
                 <runner id="847160" handicap="0" currentprice="12" 
fractionprice="12/1 ">France</runner>
         </furtherdetails>
</headline>

I'm trying to work out the XSL/XPath stuff to say "Take the first two 
runner nodes and do THIS with them", where THIS is dropping some of the 
values into a HTML table.

Anyone able to explain it? The XPath things have me baffled.

Drew.
