XSLT with unknown node names

[mooksbc]

I have XML files in the following format
<FormData>
<fieldgroup1>
<field1>data</field1>
<field2>data<field2>
</fielggroup1>
<fieldgroupXX>
<field1>data</field1>
<field2>data<field2>
</fielggroupXX>
...
</FormData>

I dont know the names of the fieldgroups or fields beforehand, but these child nodes are alway in parent FormData

I want to create the HTML output

<h1>fieldgroup</h1>
<table>
<tr><td>field</td><td>data</td></tr>
</table>
... etc (for each fieldgroup)

I'm sure this will be very straightforward but I am very new to XSLT and can't find an examplr equivalent to waht I'm attempting. Only examples with for-each and template mathes where the nodes can be referenced directly.

Thanks

The three levels of elements are matched by these.
[tt]
<xsl:template match="FormData">
<!-- etc etc -->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="FormData/*">
<!-- etc etc -->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="FormData/*/*">
<!-- etc etc -->
</xsl:template>[/tt]

No joy yet. Can you expand on this?

 

[tsuji]

What have you done with it then, or any other thing else at all?

 

[mooksbc]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="FormData/*">
<h1><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></h1>
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="FormData/*/*">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></td><td><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

the nested for each loop isn't working as i expected.
the output is a list of fieldgroups followed by blank table tags, then the list of fields ... but getting there slowly and painfully

 

[tsuji]

><xsl:for-each select="FormData/*/*">
Because you are already in the context of FormData/*, it is this.
[tt]<xsl:for-each select="*">[/tt]

 

[mooksbc]

Perfect. Thankyou!

One last thing ... can I reference the full path of the node ie i'd like the output in one of the columns to be FormData/fieldgroup/fieldname

 

[tsuji]

Sure.
[tt]
<xsl:for-each select="FormData/*">
[blue]<xsl:variable name="lev0" select="'FormData'" />
<xsl:variable name="lev1" select="name()" />[/blue]
<h1><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></h1>
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
[blue]<xsl:variable name="lev2" select="name()" />[/blue]
<tr>
[blue]<td><xsl:value-of select="concat($lev0,'/',$lev1,'/',$lev2)"/></td>[/blue]
<td><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:for-each>[/tt]
