Hello all,
Is there a away in xslt to apply template rules to all children of a given node? I have xml docs with a structure of

<row>
<field1>
<field2>
<field3>
...etc
</row>

The <row> tag is common to each doc but the child nodes may have different names. I'd like to have one xslt stylesheet handle all of them if possible. How would I select or loop through every child node of the <row> tag? Thanks in advance! :)

You can either use

<xsl:-apply-templates/>

or

<xsl:for-each select="*">
...
</xsl:for-each>

So are you saying it would be something like:

<xsl:template-match = "row"/>

and then:

<xsl:for-each select = "*"/>

apply rules

</xsl:for-each>

...in order to access the children of the row nodes? (The row is not the root of the doc in this case)

Thanks, Ivan

You can use something like this:

<xsl:template match="row">
<xsl:for-each select="child::node()">
<xsl:call-template name="child_node"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="child_node">
....
</xsl:template>

Thanks for your help, everyone. It turns out I was making things too complicated. I just used :

<xsl:template match = "row">
<div class = 'rowCount'>
<xsl:for-each select = "text()">
<div class = 'field'>
<xsl:value-of select = "."/>
</div>
</xsl:for-each>
</div>
</xsl:template>

...which grabs the value from each child node of the <row> tag and puts it in its own div. Thanks again!
