John,

Thanks for the input but - like Sara's solution - this requires that I know
the structure inside of <display> ahead of time - I need something more
dynamic, hence why I was thinking about recursion to move through the
children since it could handle a different structure every time.

Ideas?

Can you give us a more complete sample input doc than the one you've supplied so far, to wit:

>   <root_elem>
>     <submittedValues>
>       <submittedValue fieldname='title'>mr.</submittedValue>
>     </submittedValues>

>     <display>

>         title:<input type='text' fieldname='title' value=''/>
>       </p>
>     </display>
>   </root_elem>

This example provides only a single occurrence of a submittedValues/display pair. I gather from your comments that this structure can't be guaranteed to be regular -- especially the structure of the <display> element. But (speaking for myself) it's real hard to guess what *other* kinds of structures you might encounter. That I think is why Sara and I proposed "works with THIS structure only" solutions.
