Hi,

I am trying to convert some XML to HTML using the latest version of Xalan.
However, I am having difficulty in selecting the correct elements from my XML
source file. What I am trying to do is select the data from the rows/row/fields
in the order it appears in the columns/column, and output it to a HTML table.
The XML itself is generated so the attributes of the columns could change each
time. I.e. in this example we have the attributes 'name' and 'age', but next
time round they could be 'title', 'name', 'address'.
It seems all necessary information is included in the XML. Just try something
like:
<xsl:variable name="columns" select="/table/table-config/columns/column"/>
<xsl:template match="table">
<xsl:copy>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="$columns">
<th><xsl:value-of select="@label"/></th>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="rows"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="field">
<xsl:variable name="field" select="."/>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="$columns">
<td>
<xsl:copy-of select="@align"/>
<xsl:value-of
select="$field/@*[name()=current()/@field]"/>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
regards,
