Generate HTML form dynamically using xml and reusa

Question

I have large number of xml files :

First:

<xmldata1>
    <record>
        <property11>abc</property11>
        <property12>def</property12>
        <property13>xyz</property13>
        ............
    </record>
    ........
</xmldata1>

Second:

<xmldata2>
    <record>
        <property21>abc</property21>
        <property22>def</property22>
        <property23>xyz</property23>
        ............
    </record>
    ........
</xmldata2>

and so on.

There won't be any more nested tags . But the name of property tag will be different for each xmldata file.

So i want to dynamically generate a HTML Form using XSLT to be used to read data for each xml . Where a simple text box should be used to read each property. and we can take the first record as reference for number and name of properties.

The desired output

<form name ="xmldata1">
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td>property11 :</td>
            <td><input type="text" name="property11"></td>
        </tr>
        .......
        and so on
    </table>
</form>

How can i achieve this. Where can i find sample example for this.

Answer 1

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" />

    <!--Template match for the document element, no matter what the name -->
    <xsl:template match="/*">
      <form name="{local-name()}">
        <table>
           <!--Apply-templates for all of the record/property elements -->
           <xsl:apply-templates select="*/*"/>
         </table>
      </form>
    </xsl:template>

    <!--Match on all of the property elements and create a new row for each -->
    <xsl:template match="/*/*/*">
      <tr>
        <td><xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/> :</td>
        <td><input type="text" name="{local-name()}"/></td>
      </tr>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Answer 2

Do you mean sth like that?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="html" />

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

<xsl:template match="*[starts-with(name(), 'xmldata')]">
    <xsl:element name="form">
        <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="name(.)" /></xsl:attribute>
        <table>
            <tr>
                <xsl:apply-templates />
            </tr>
        </table>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

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

<xsl:template match="*[starts-with(name(), 'property')]">
    <td>
        <xsl:value-of select="name(.)" />
    </td>
    <td>
        <xsl:element name="input">
            <xsl:attribute name="type">text</xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="name(.)" /></xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:element>
    </td>
</xsl:template>
