<Row Type="Data">
<Cell>Mar 23, 2006</Cell>
<Cell>08:44</Cell>
</Row>
So how would your sample XSLT work with my sample XML?
XSLT:
<xsl:template match="Row">
<both a="{Cell[1]}" b="{Cell[2]}"/>,
</xsl:template>
Output:
<both a="Mar 23, 2006" b="08:44"/>
If you want to be able to transform an arbitrary number of <Cell> entries:>
Input:
<table>
<Row Type="Data">
<Cell>Mar 23, 2006</Cell>
<Cell>08:44</Cell>
</Row>>
<Row Type="Data">
<Cell>Mar 23, 2006</Cell>
<Cell>08:53</Cell>
<Cell>text</Cell>>
</Row>>
</table>
XSLT:
<xsl:template match="Row">>
<xsl:element name="row">>
<xsl:for-each select="child::*"><xsl:value-of select="."/>;
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>>
OUTPUT:
<row>Mar 23, 2006; 08:44; </row>
<row>Mar 23, 2006; 08:44; text; </row>

Thanks for the reply Wendell, but man I really slow at understanding XSL.
You sample looks to be quick simple, yet I'm not getting the desired
results. Perhaps it's because you're sample XML is quite a bit different
than my sample.
Here again is my sample (I simplified it further from my previous email)...
<Row Type="Data">
<Cell>Mar 23, 2006</Cell>
<Cell>08:44</Cell>
</Row>
So how would your sample XSLT work with my sample XML?
Thanks!

Fatbob:
Input:
<data>
<one a="1"/>
<two b="2"/>
</data>
XSLT:
<xsl:template match="data">
<both a="{one/@a}" b="{two/@b}"/>
</xsl:template>
Output:
<both a="1" b="2"/>
Or more generally: decide on a context from which all the necessary data
components for your new element are visible (any context will do but some
are easier than others), and make the new element, pulling in whatever
data you want from wherever you find it.
In fact, it's pretty hard to write XSLT that doesn't do this, in a very
general way. If you think in terms of elements and attributes being nodes
on a tree, rather than stuff written with tags (as you really must to get
anywhere with XSLT), it starts seeming very normal.

Wendell

Thanks for taking the time to write that email. Greatly appreciate it.
To answer your question about moving to XSLT 2.0, unfortunately that is
not
an option. So I'll have to find a solution to merging the two cells and
formatting the date using whatever functionality is available in 1.0.
So far I'm still in the dark as to how I can merge the cells.
