Doug LundinSubject: I can't seem to get my xml "re-arranged" properly.

I have been trying to figure out this problem. I can't seem to get my xml "re-arranged" properly.

Here is what I've done:

[1] Created an XHTML file from Yahoo using HTML to XML wizard and Tidy adapter

[2] Created testcase.xquery file:
declare namespace a = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";

<Gainers>
<CompanyName>
{/a:html/a:body[1]/a:div[1]/a:div[3]/a:div[3]/a:div[2]/a:div[2]/a:table[1]/a:tbody[1]/a:tr/a:td[2]/normalize-space()}
</CompanyName>
<Ticker>
{/a:html/a:body[1]/a:div[1]/a:div[3]/a:div[3]/a:div[2]/a:div[2]/a:table[1]/a:tbody[1]/a:tr/a:td[1]/a:b[1]/a:a[1]/normalize-space()}
</Ticker>
<LastTradePrice>
{/a:html/a:body[1]/a:div[1]/a:div[3]/a:div[3]/a:div[2]/a:div[2]/a:table[1]/a:tbody[1]/a:tr/a:td[3]/a:b[1]/normalize-space()}
</LastTradePrice>
</Gainers>

[3] When I run the xquery I get (minimally formatted):
<Gainers>
<CompanyName>CONOLOG CORP TARGETED GENETICS CP MICROWAVE FILTER C</CompanyName>
<Ticker>CNLG TGEN MFCO</Ticker>
<LastTradePrice>3.68 6.30 1.55</LastTradePrice>
</Gainers>


[4] I would like to see:
<Gainers>
<CompanyName>CONOLOG CORP</CompanyName>
<CompanyName>TARGETED GENETICS CP</CompanyName>
<CompanyName>MICROWAVE FILTER C</CompanyName>
<Ticker>CNLG</Ticker>
<Ticker>TGEN</Ticker>
<Ticker>MFCO</Ticker>
<LastTradePrice>3.68</LastTradePrice>
<LastTradePrice>6.30</LastTradePrice>
<LastTradePrice>1.55</LastTradePrice>
</Gainers>


[5] Is this possible for the output?:
<Gainers>
<CompanyName>CONOLOG CORP</CompanyName>
<Ticker>CNLG</Ticker>
<LastTradePrice>3.68</LastTradePrice>
<CompanyName>TARGETED GENETICS CP</CompanyName>
<Ticker>TGEN</Ticker>
<LastTradePrice>6.30</LastTradePrice>
<CompanyName>MICROWAVE FILTER C</CompanyName>
<Ticker>MFCO</Ticker>
<LastTradePrice>1.55</LastTradePrice>
</Gainers>


Thank you
Doug

Ok, now I've fiddled around trying to get the data into its end-state:
<Gainers>
<CompanyName>CONOLOG CORP</CompanyName>
<Ticker>CNLG</Ticker>
<LastTradePrice>3.68</LastTradePrice>
<CompanyName>TARGETED GENETICS CP</CompanyName>
<Ticker>TGEN</Ticker>
<LastTradePrice>6.30</LastTradePrice>
<CompanyName>MICROWAVE FILTER C</CompanyName>
<Ticker>MFCO</Ticker>
<LastTradePrice>1.55</LastTradePrice>
</Gainers>

Is this a job for XSLT?

declare namespace a = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";

<Gainers >
{
for $t at $pos in /a:html/a:body[1]/a:div[1]/a:div[3]/a:div[3]/a:div[2]/a:div[2]/a:table[1]/a:tbody[1]/a:tr
return
(
<CompanyName>{$t/a:td[2]/text()}</CompanyName>,
<Ticker>{$t/a:td[1]/a:b[1]/a:a[1]/text()}</Ticker>,
<LastTradePrice>{$t/a:td[3]/a:b[1]/text()}</LastTradePrice>
)
}
