XSL. howto create an element of a text node?

Hello,

I have a XML file

<car>
<brand>Mercedes </brand>
</car>

I want to transform it to this form:

<car>
<Mercedes>
</car>

So in fact in XSL I want to create an element which has the name of a
text node. This might be a really simple question but I am getting
confused with XPath now, with {}, with // with self:: with parent::
..... :-(

<xsl:template match="car">
<xsl:element name="XXXX"/>
</xsl:template>

How would be the valid XXXX expression?

Thanks for help

Bernd

I think you mean this (note the closure of the empty tag)
<car>
<Mercedes/>
</car>
<xsl:template match="car">
<xsl:element name="{./brand}"/>
</xsl:template>

I wouldn't do this though. Dynamically creating new element names is a
whole can of worms and you really don't want to go there.

Dear All, somehow I remember that such or similar question was discussed already somewhere. But I can't find it anymore. I have a template calling itself. As long it goes deeper into the hierarchy (by the key) I can set the CurrentY parameter by itself + some constant correctly. Hence which each call the CurrentY gets bigger. But when the template reaches a leave and the caller is poped from

As the topic says, I am wondering how (in Java) I can extract a sub-tree of a org.w3c.dom.Document and form a brand new one. I use Oracle's XMLDocument implementation and have been playing around with DocumentFragment etc. but somehow I always end up creating only the single node and not its sub-nodes. /Casper

I want if possible to use something like: element.getElementsByTagName('text') but that doesn't work. Is there another value for the parameter, or is it not possible with getElementsByTagName? Thanks, Ron

Hi, I cannot get this figured out. I need to get the text out of an element node. In IE, I can do it like this: xNode(0).text but that does not work for Mozilla. And since element nodes return NULL for nodeValue, what am I supposed to do? is there a way to convert an element node into a text node?

I am trying to map external xml documents to a class in dotnet. The problem is that the elements of the input xml will have different names than the properties of the class. How do I create the xslt that will allow me to transform the inbound xml into another xml resource with the elements renamed so that I can serialize it to an instance of the class. I assume that this is best done with xslt.transform, but I am not sure how to write...

I am having a problem deserializing XML when the root node is missing a namespace declaration. My Type has an XmlTypeAttribute with a namespace defined. If I attempt to deserialize the XML, I get the dreaded <elementname xmlns=''> was not expected exception. If I comment out the XmlTypeAttribute, it works just fine. Just so you know, when I instantiate an instance of an XmlSerializer, I pass a default namespace to the ctor. ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
