question about create table by using xslt

Lee

I have a xml file, here is sample part:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ProducsList>
<Product id="1">
<SpecList>
<Spec>
<SpecLabel>Heig ht</SpecLabel>
<SpecValue>10 </SpecValue>
<SpecCat>Dimens ion</SpecCat>
</Spec>
<Spec>
<SpecLabel>Widt h</SpecLabel>
<SpecValue>6</SpecValue>
<SpecCat>Dimens ion</SpecCat>
</Spec>
<Spec>
<SpecLabel>Weig ht</SpecLabel>
<SpecValue>20.5 </SpecValue>
<SpecCat>Weigth </SpecCat>
</Spec>
</SpecList>
</Prodcut>
<Product id="2">
<SpecList>
<Spec>
<SpecLabel>Heig ht</SpecLabel>
<SpecValue>8</SpecValue>
<SpecCat>Dimens ion</SpecCat>
</Spec>
<Spec>
<SpecLabel>Widt h</SpecLabel>
<SpecValue>5</SpecValue>
<SpecCat>Dimens ion</SpecCat>
</Spec>
<Spec>
<SpecLabel>Weig ht</SpecLabel>
<SpecValue>18 </SpecValue>
<SpecCat>Weigth </SpecCat>
</Spec>
</SpecList>
</Prodcut>
<Product id="3">
<SpecList>
<Spec>
<SpecLabel>Heig ht</SpecLabel>
<SpecValue>5</SpecValue>
<SpecCat>Dimens ion</SpecCat>
</Spec>
<Spec>
<SpecLabel>Widt h</SpecLabel>
<SpecValue>2</SpecValue>
<SpecCat>Dimens ion</SpecCat>
</Spec>
<Spec>
<SpecLabel>Weig ht</SpecLabel>
<SpecValue>10 </SpecValue>
<SpecCat>Weigth </SpecCat>
</Spec>
</SpecList>
</Prodcut>
</ProductsList>

I need to create a table look like that based on that xml file:

----------------------------------------------------
Label Product 1 product 2 product 3
----------------------------------------------------
Height 10 8 5
Width 6 5 2
Weight 20.5 18 10

I am totally losed, I don't know how to create that table. any one has
any idea about that? thank you very much.

Also how many Spec in SpecList is unkown.

Thanks for the help.

I posted an earlier reply to the same problem in another group. You
may want to compare. I'm not a great advocate of intensive use of
xsl:for-each

<xsl:template match="ProducsL ist">
<table>
<tr>
<th>Label</th>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Product " mode="header"/>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/ProducsList/Product/
SpecList/
Spec/SpecLabel[

not(

text()

=

ancestor::Produ ct/preceding-sibling::Produc t//SpecLabel/text()
)

]"/

</table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Product" mode="header">
<th>
<xsl:text>Produ ct </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</th>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="SpecLabe l">
<xsl:variable name="text" select="text()"/>
<tr>
<th>
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
</th>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/ProducsList/Product">
<xsl:with-param name="label" select="$text"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</tr>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Product" >
<xsl:param name="label"/>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="SpecLis t/Spec[SpecLabel =
$label]/SpecValue"/>
</td>
</xsl:template>

outputs

<table>
<tr>
<th>Label</th><th>Product 1</th><th>Product 2</th><th>Product 3</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Height</th><td>10</td><td>8</td><td>5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Width</th><td>6</td><td>5</td><td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Weight</th><td>20.5</td><td>18</td><td>10</td>
</tr>
</table>

Question on XSLT
