something like this should do it... you don't have to know the name of an element or an attribute to process it :) Francis. <xsl:template match="ESTIMATEDATA"> <table> <xsl:for-each select="*"> <!-- select="*" is shorthand for select="child::*", in other words all child elements --> <tr> <td><xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/></td> <xsl:for-each select="@*"> <!-- select="@*" is shorthand for select="attribute::*", in other words all attributes --> <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td> </xsl:for-each> <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td> </tr> </xsl:for-each> </table> </xsl:template> Daniel Newman wrote: > > sorry all, thought my original request might confuse.
