	Hi all,
		I want to write a generic xsl template which can convert my xml into html
table (with table heading as the element name)
		My xml is as follows:

		<root>
			<row>
				<id>1</id>
				<name>Mr. X</name>
				<city>Shangri-La</city>
			<row>
			<row>
				<id>2/id>
				<name>Mr. Y</name>
				<city>Erehwon</city>
				<phone>1234567890</phone>
			<row>
			<row>
				<id>3</id>
				<name>Mr. Z</name>
				<city>Shangri-La</city>
				<fax>9876543210</fax>
			<row>
		</root>

		I want the output as follows

		<table>
			<tr>
				<th>id</th>
				<th>name></th>
				<th>city</th>
				<th>phone</th>
				<th>fax</th>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>1</td>
				<td>Mr. X</td>
				<td>Shangri-La</td>
				<td> - </td>
				<td> - </td>
			<tr>
			<tr>
				<td>2</td>
				<td>Mr. Y</td>
				<td>Erehwon</td>
				<td>1234567890</td>
				<td> - </td>
			<tr>
			<tr>
				<td>3</td>
				<td>Mr. Z</td>
				<td>Shangri-La</td>
				<td> - </td>
				<td>9876543210</td>
			<tr>
		</table>

		I tried it this way. It works for xml which has similar elements in the
row element.

		Thanks in advance

	My xsl is here.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [

<xsl:template match="/" >
<html>
<head>

<title>Test</title>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0">

	<hr/>
	<table border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
		<tr>
			<xsl:apply-templates match="root/row" mode="wrap"/>
		</tr>
		<xsl:apply-templates match="root/row"/>
	</table>

</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="root/row" mode="wrap">
	<xsl:if test="position() = 1">
	<xsl:for-each select="./node()">
	<th><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></th>
	</xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="root/row">
	<xsl:for-each select=".">
		<tr>
			<xsl:for-each select="./node()">
			<td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
			</xsl:for-each>
		</tr>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
