Subject: XSLT Newbie needs help... Should be easy fix!

I'm a newbie to XML/XSLT, and I'm sure this is very easy to do for someone who has experience in it... I'm trying to make an XSLT file that displays ONLY <CurrentValue> and <DbValue> of those items who's <IsChanged> value = "True". Can someone please fix this XSLT source for me???

----------- XSLT START -----------
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Old Value</th>
<th>New Value</th>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//Fields" />
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Fields">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="<DbValue Goes Here>"/>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="<CurrentValue Goes Here>"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
----------- XSLT STOP -----------

Here is my sample XML file...

----------- XML START -----------
<Fields>
<PhoneNumber>
<CurrentValue Type="System.String">888-555-1212</CurrentValue>
<DbValue Type="System.String">800-555-1212</DbValue>
<IsChanged Type="System.Boolean">True</IsChanged>
<IsNull Type="System.Boolean">False</IsNull>
</PhoneNumber>
<PhoneType>
<CurrentValue Type="AMENTOR4UDB.PhoneTypes">Home</CurrentValue>
<DbValue Type="AMENTOR4UDB.PhoneTypes">Home</DbValue>
<IsChanged Type="System.Boolean">False</IsChanged>
<IsNull Type="System.Boolean">False</IsNull>
</PhoneType>
<ContactId>
<CurrentValue Type="System.Int64">100</CurrentValue>
<DbValue Type="System.Int64">100</DbValue>
<IsChanged Type="System.Boolean">False</IsChanged>
<IsNull Type="System.Boolean">False</IsNull>
</ContactId>
<EmailAddress>
<CurrentValue Type="System.String">company@email.com</CurrentValue>
<DbValue Type="System.String">my@email.com</DbValue>
<IsChanged Type="System.Boolean">True</IsChanged>
<IsNull Type="System.Boolean">False</IsNull>
</EmailAddress>
<EmailType>
<CurrentValue Type="AMENTOR4UDB.EmailTypes">Primary</CurrentValue>
<DbValue Type="AMENTOR4UDB.EmailTypes">Primary</DbValue>
<IsChanged Type="System.Boolean">False</IsChanged>
<IsNull Type="System.Boolean">False</IsNull>
</EmailType>
<ContactId>
<CurrentValue Type="System.Int64">100</CurrentValue>
<DbValue Type="System.Int64">100</DbValue>
<IsChanged Type="System.Boolean">False</IsChanged>
<IsNull Type="System.Boolean">False</IsNull>
</ContactId>
<EmailVerified>
<CurrentValue Type="System.Boolean">True</CurrentValue>
<DbValue Type="System.Boolean">True</DbValue>
<IsChanged Type="System.Boolean">False</IsChanged>
<IsNull Type="System.Boolean">False</IsNull>
</EmailVerified>
<EmailValidationKey>
<CurrentValue Type="System.Guid">00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</CurrentValue>
<DbValue Type="System.Guid">00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</DbValue>
<IsChanged Type="System.Boolean">False</IsChanged>
<IsNull Type="System.Boolean">False</IsNull>
</EmailValidationKey>
</Fields>

First, thank you very much for providing complete well-formed input and for doing most of the .xsl yourself. It helps us help you much more quickly.

One of many possible solutions is attached.

Your problem (perhaps) was doing
apply-templates select="//Field"
and then trying to get the data out of DbValue.
But there is an extra level of nesting between Field and DbValue,
the elements PhoneNumber, PhoneType, etc.

So, just using
apply-templates select="//Field/*"
and then later on
template match="Field/*"
does the trick

Good luck with xslt.

Very good...

How would I add one column to the table for "DataType" that would display the <Field Name> being updated... Ie. PhoneNumber, PhoneTypes???

Hi,
Well, You will need another header <th>....</th>.

In the data part of the table, you are in
<xsl:template match="Fields/*"/> so the node being matched (the context node) is one of the data nodes just below Fields. So you just want the
name of the context node:
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</td>

That worked great! My next question is... It is possible that one of the Values within the XML is another layer of XML nested within the XML structure under the fieldname <AuditLogXml>, usually with the same structure. My question, how can I nest the display? So that when the field is <AuditLogXml>, it creates a new table within the currently defined table displaying the <Field>, <DbValue>, <CurrentValue>???

First, can you please provide a sample if the xml input. I'm not sure where the <AuditLogXml> tag is supposed to be.

Then, can you build a sample of the desired .html output? You want to have one table nested inside another table. If you show me the desired output, we can figure out how to write the .xslt.
