RE: select name of element / deal with embedded for-each

If you know that each <INDEX> will have the same children in the same order
then this is reasonably easy (even if you don't know what the children will
be):

<xsl:template match="SOURCES">
<xsl:variable name="rows" select="SOURCE/INDEX"/>
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="SOURCE/INDEX[1]/*>
  <tr>
    <xsl:variable name="col" select="name()"/>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="$col"/></td>
    <xsl:for-each select="$rows">
       <td><xsl:value-of select="*[name()=$col]"/></td>

Subject: [xsl] select name of element / deal with embedded for-each

Hi,

as a beginner, I try to transform an XML structure like this one :

<SOURCES>
    <SOURCE CODE="SOURCE_1">
            <INDEX>
                <INDEX_A>A1</INDEX_A>
                <INDEX_B>B1</INDEX_B>
                <INDEX_C>C1</INDEX_C>
            </INDEX>
    </SOURCE>
    <SOURCE CODE="SOURCE_2">
            <INDEX>
               <INDEX_A>A2</INDEX_A>
                <INDEX_B>B2</INDEX_B>
                <INDEX_C>C2</INDEX_C>
            </INDEX>
    </SOURCE>


into an HTML table :

<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>INDEX_A</td>
<td>A1</td>
<td>A2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>INDEX_B</td>
<td>B1</td>
<td>B2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>INDEX_C</td>
<td>C1</td>
<td>C2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I have two difficulties :
1. How to select the name of an element (in my case : <INDEX_A>  must 
become : <td>INDEX_A</td> ).
2. How to write the xslt in order to treat /at once/ EACH 
INDEX FOR EACH 
SOURCE. I have some difficulties because of the two xsl:for-each that 
must coexist.


I have tried :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
    <xsl:output method="html"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <html>
            <body>
                <table border="1">
                    <xsl:for-each select="/SOURCES/SOURCE[1]/INDEX/*">
                        <tr>
                            <xsl:for-each select="/SOURCES/SOURCE">
                                <td>
                                    <xsl:value-of select="INDEX/*"/>
                                </td>
                            </xsl:for-each>
                        </tr>
                    </xsl:for-each>
                </table>
            </body>
        </html>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

but the result :

A1    A2
A1    A2
A1    A2


is, as you see and have guessed, bad.........

Thanks a lot for your help.
