[xsl] Re: attribute values as name value pair

["Sam Byland" <shbyland@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tracy,

assuming

<table>
    <columns>
        <column name="code" value="Code" />
        <column name="description" value="Desc" />
        <column name="price" value="Price" />
        <column name="weight" value="Weight" />
        <column name="value" value="Value" />
    </columns>
</table>

is loaded into a variable named Doc2, then I think the following should
work:

<xsl:template match="data">
    <data>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </data>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="row">

    <xsl:variable name="NumPriorAttributes"
select="count(preceding-sibling::*/@*[not(name()='trade')])"/>

    <xsl:for-each select="@*[not(name()='trade')]">

        <xsl:variable name="AttName" select="name()"/>
        <xsl:variable name="AttValue" select="."/>

        <row id="{$NumPriorAttributes + position()}"
key="{xx:node-set($Doc2)/table/columns/column[@name=$AttName]/@value}"
value="{$AttValue}"/>

    </xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>

where xx:node-set is the node-set extension function for your particular
XSLT processor.

Cheers,

...sam
