In your xslt, there ithis statement:

<xsl:variable name="price" select="price" />

This will put the 'price' element (the child node of the context node) in a variable called 'price'.

But there aren't any 'price' elements in your XML.


TRy this stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:output method="xml" />


<xsl:template match = "/" >
   <DATAPACKET Version="2.0">
	   <xsl:call-template name="CDSMetaData"/>
		   <ROWDATA>
			<xsl:apply-templates/>
		   </ROWDATA>
	   </DATAPACKET>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="CDSMetaData">
	<METADATA>
		<FIELDS>
			<FIELD attrname="id" fieldtype="string" WIDTH="255"/>
			<FIELD attrname="price" fieldtype="string" WIDTH="255"/>
			<FIELD attrname="address1" fieldtype="string" WIDTH="255"/>
			<FIELD attrname="address2" fieldtype="string" WIDTH="255"/>
			<FIELD attrname="typedesc" fieldtype="string" WIDTH="255"/>
			<FIELD attrname="image" fieldtype="string" WIDTH="255"/>
			<FIELD attrname="bullets" fieldtype="string" WIDTH="255"/>
		</FIELDS>
	</METADATA>
</xsl:template>
		
<xsl:template match="desc">
<ROW>
	<xsl:apply-templates/>
</ROW>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="detail">
	<xsl:attribute name="{@name}"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="section[@name='bullets']/d">
	<xsl:attribute name="starpoint{position()}"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="section[@name='pics']/g">
	<xsl:attribute name="image{position()}"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
