Transforming an unknown XML into a table
If I had an XML file like this:
<root> <student> <name>Bill</name> </student> </root> and I can display it as a table using XSLT but a few days later i may want something like this: <root> <student> <surname>Clinton</surname> <name>Bill</name> <age>50</age> <sex>M</sex> </student> </root> ...is it possible for an XSLT to accept and transform an XML file that will have varying number of child-nodes and display it on a table. All I know is that it will involve wildcards and loops - not much, I know  I've searched around the web and considered using <xls:for-each> & <xsl:apply-templates> but cannot come up with an idea. Any indication of whether this is possible or how it can be achieved is appreciated.

If you want to reference elements or attributes without specifying their name then you need to use xsl axes:
Code:
<table> <xsl:for-each select="/root/student"> <tr> <xsl:for-each select="child::*"> <td> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </td> </xsl:for-each> </tr> </xsl:for-each> </table>
