RE: generate unknow table



Hi, All

I have posted this question few days ago. It seems no body
even give a try to answer this question. Could someone tell
me this is impossible in XSLT? Or my question is not clear?

Thanks a lot in advance.


Here is my xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<display>
	<title>
		<field id="sflbr">Br</field>
		<field id="sflcyc">Cycle</field>
		<field id="sfsts">P/I Status Description</field>
		<field id="pidate">P/I Date</field>
	</title>
	<data>
		<record>
			<sel>12</sel>
			<sflbr>001</sflbr>
			<sflcyc>200</sflcyc>
			<sfsts>This is a description</sfsts>
			<pidate>06-02-01</pidate>
		</record>
		<record>
			<sel>11</sel>
			<sflbr>002</sflbr>
			<sflcyc>210</sflcyc>
			<sfsts>This is a description too</sfsts>
			<pidate>06-11-01</pidate>
		</record>
	</data>
</display>

Here is my xsl:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
	<xsl:output method="html"/>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<html>
			<body>
				<table border="1">
					<xsl:apply-templates select="display/title"/>
					<xsl:apply-templates select="display/data"/>
				</table>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="title">
		<tr>
			<xsl:for-each select="field">
				<td>
					<xsl:value-of select="."/>
				</td>
			</xsl:for-each>
		</tr>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="data">
		<xsl:for-each select="record">
			<tr>
				<td>
					<xsl:value-of select="sflbr"/>
				</td>
				<td>
					<xsl:value-of select="sflcyc"/>
				</td>
				<td>
					<xsl:value-of select="sfsts"/>
				</td>
				<td>
					<xsl:value-of select="pidate"/>
				</td>
			</tr>
		</xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If you do the XSL transform, you will get the result I want to get.
The problem is, when I write the XSL, I don't know the columns I want to
display, until I read the coming XML. How can I get the field name
such as sflbr, sflcyc, sfsts, pidata from the display/title/field@id?

Thanks a lot.
