RE: [xsl] Handling Repeating XML !!

["Vasu Chakkera" <vasucv@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is the XML you have shown fixed or are you allowed to change the xml ?
because, by the look of it, it doesnt look like it is properly designed..
for instance, your xml could be ..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone ="yes"?>
<A>
 <B>
   <Data id = "1">Data11</Data>
 </B>
 <C>
   <Data id = "2">Data21</Data>
 </C>
 <D>
   <Data id = "3">Data31</Data>
 </D>
 <B>
   <Data id = "1">Data12</Data>
 </B>
 <C>
   <Data id = "2">Data22</Data>
 </C>
 <D>
   <Data id = "3">Data32</Data>
 </D>
</A>

You normally dont want to keep separate nodes just to differentiate the 
types of logically same node.
With the above structure,
you can do

<xsl:template match = "A">

<xsl:apply-templates select = "//Data"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match = "Data">
 <xsl:value-of select = "."/>
<br/>
</xsl:template>

if you still want to continue with your XML , this will work.
<xsl:template match="A">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="*">
   <xsl:value-of select = "."/>
   <br/>

   </xsl:template>

But as I said, It is best to restructure your XML as Above.
