Re: [xsl] Replicating parent elements in table with children.

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alan,

Try:

<xsl:template match="Table">
  <table>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="Table1"/>
    <xsl:if test="not(Table1)">
      <tr><xsl:apply-templates/></tr>
    </xsl:if>
  </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Table1">
  <tr>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="../AvgScore | DeliveryID"/>
  </tr>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="AvgScore | DeliveryID">
  <td>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </td>
</xsl:template>

This gets you most of the way there. But you haven't said *how* you want 
"the contents of <table>" when there's no table1 (so I guessed). Maybe it's 
unrelated, but you also haven't shown where the "975" comes from in your 
sample data.

As you may be able to see from my code, the solution may not be in any 
"looping/xpath" approach at all. Actually, the sooner you can unlearn to 
think about "looping" (generally speaking a foreign concept to XSLT), the 
sooner you can see how to write XSLT.

Cheers,
Wendell
