Hi All

I have an xml file like the following:

<Parent>
  <Orders>
    <Order1>
	<ItemName>TV</ItemName>
	<ItemModel>Sony</ItemModel>
	<ItemPrice>423424</ItemPrice>
    </Order1>
    <Order1>
	<ItemName>VCR</ItemName>
	<ItemModel>Mitsubishi</ItemModel>
	<ItemPrice>1233213</ItemPrice>
    </Order1>
    <Order2>
	<ItemLocation>San Francisco</ItemLocation>
	<ItemTime>200310101010</ItemTime>
    </Order2>
    <Order3>
	<ItemPrice>1000</ItemPrice>
    </Order3>
  </Orders>
</Parent>

I trying to build a generic xsl transform which would
pick up all the unique Orders(Order1's, Order2's and
Order3's and so on...) and build a table like below.

Order1
ItemName   ItemModel   ItemPrice
  TV          Sony       423424
  VCR      Mitsubishi    1233213

Order2
ItemLocation     ItemTime
San Francisco    200310101010

Order3
ItemPrice
1000

All of this I am trying to build a generic xsl
template. 

Questions:

1. I wasn't able to get the unique node names and get
the child nodes to print out them.

Can someone help me in how to approach this.

Here is my stupid xsl I started off with and got
stuck.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:variable name="Test"
select="/Parent/Orders/*"/>
   <xsl:call-template name="Test">
    <xsl:with-param name="OrderName" select="$Test"/>
   </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="Test">
   <xsl:param name="OrderName"/>
      <xsl:for-each select="$OrderName">
	<p>
       <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()" />
     <xsl:choose>
       <xsl:when test="not($pos = 1)">
            <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="name() =
preceding-sibling::*[$OrderName]">
	<table>
    <tr><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></tr>
	<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of
select="string(preceding-sibling::*[$OrderName])"
/></td>
	</tr>
   <tr>
<xsl:value-of select="string($OrderName)"/>
</tr>
</table>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>
			<table>
	       		  	<tr>
	       		  	<xsl:value-of
select="string($OrderName)"/>
	       		  	</tr>
			</table>
	</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
					</xsl:when>
			         </xsl:choose>
		      </p>
	    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>



Appreciate your time.

Thanks
Nischal
