RE: Copying and transforming/Recursion?

Sara,

Thanks for the input but unfortunately, this solution requires that I know
the structure inside of <display> ahead of time - what I want is something
more generic like: "copy everything inside of <display>, but update the
@value for any <input>s that it has".

Cheers,

Jeff

This may not be the most elegant, but I think you may want 
to simply do apply-templates instead. For example (untested):

<xsl:template match="display">
<display>
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</display>
</xsl:template>

... do the same for <p> ...

<xsl:template match="input">
<xsl:element name="input>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<!-- recreate the attributes with known values -->
<xsl:template match="input/@type | input/@fieldname">
 <xsl:attribute name="name(.)"><xsl:value-of select="."/>
 </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="input/@value">
<xsl:variable name="thisfield" select="."/>
 <xsl:attribute name="name(.)">
 <xsl:value-of select="preceding::submittedValue[@fieldname=$thisfield]"/>
 </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

This should work as long as the submittedValue will always precede the 
input. If not, you may need to use another axis or the "//" selector
although that is much less efficient.
