 something to the effect of... see below ... should work. (only first row of data, read their names) this would eliminate the need for position test of if block. -adam <tr> <xsl:for-each select="Table[1]/*"> <xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/> </xsl:for-each> </tr> -----Original Message----- From: Alan K. Gay [mailto:alan@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 2:56 PM To: XSLT List Subject: XML to HTML... dynamic table headers from element names Just getting my feet wet. using XMLSpy stylesheet designer to help guide. I'm converting XML to HTML, which is Microsoft's recommended way of controlling the import of XML into Excel. I've got the stylesheet below in productive use. However, I want to make one key change. I want the name of XML elements to become the text column headings so I can deal with files that have dynamic column names. Suggestions appreciated. Here is typical XML: <NewDataSet> <Table> <Name>Linda Britt</Name> <RFQCount>324</RFQCount> <RFQResponseCount>556</RFQResponseCount> </Table> </NewDataSet> Here is the stylesheet. See comments regarding what I'm trying to change. <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head></head> <body> <xsl:for-each select="NewDataSet"> <xsl:for-each select="Table"> <xsl:if test="position()=1"> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><table border="0"></xsl:text> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="position()=1"> <thead> <tr> <td > <span>Buyer Name</span> COMMENT: I want this to be "Name" from element name. </td> <td > <span># RFQs</span> COMMENT: I want this to be "RFQCount" from element name. </td> <td > <span># Responses</span> </td> </tr> </thead> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="position()=1"> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><tbody></xsl:text> </xsl:if> <tr> <td> <xsl:for-each select="Name"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:for-each> </td> <td> <xsl:for-each select="RFQCount"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:for-each> </td> <td> <xsl:for-each select="RFQResponseCount"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:for-each> </td> </tr> <xsl:if test="position()=last()"> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></tbody></xsl:text> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="position()=last()"> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></table></xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Alan K.
