Loop through children

From: "tshad" <tshad@----------.--->
To: NULL
Date: 3/27/2008 3:03:00 PM

If I have the following xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<REPORT VERSION="1.10" FILENUM="" DESCRIPTION="Form Utility XML: 3/18/2008 
12:27:13 PM" MAJORFORM="1004">
  <ORDER></ORDER>
  <TRACKING></TRACKING>
  <FORMS>
    <FORM NUM="1" FORMCODE="1004" SECCODE="1" DESC="" MAJOR="True" >
      <FIELDS>
        <OTHERFILENUMBER>692</OTHERFILENUMBER>
        <FNMA_FILENUMBER>693</FNMA_FILENUMBER>
        <SUBPROPADDRESS>3</SUBPROPADDRESS>
      </FIELDS>
      <FORMPHOTOS></FORMPHOTOS>
      <ATTACHMENTS></ATTACHMENTS>
    </FORM>
  </FORMS>
</REPORT>

I have can have about 200 nodes under the <FIELDS> node.

Each node has it's own name.

What I am looking for is to build an style sheet that loops through the 
children and creates a set of nodes that would look something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<REPORT>
   <form>
      <sectionNumber>1</sectionNumber>
      <primary>True</primary>
      <formName>1004</formName>
      <tagName>OTHERFILENUMBER</tagName>
      <value>692</value>
   <form>
   <form>
      <sectionNumber>1</sectionNumber>
      <primary>True</primary>
      <formName>1004</formName>
      <tagName>FNMA_FILENUMBER</tagName>
      <value>693</value>
   <form>
   <form>
      <sectionNumber>1</sectionNumber>
      <primary>True</primary>
      <formName>1004</formName>
      <tagName>SUBPROPADDRESS</tagName>
      <value>SUBPROPADDRESS</value>
   <form>
</REPORT>

The xslt file I was working with is:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
 <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:template match="/*">
  <root_node>
   <xsl:apply-templates>
    <xsl:sort select="form/@Major" order="descending"/>
   </xsl:apply-templates>
  </root_node>
 </xsl:template>
 <xsl:template match="FIELDS">
  <form>
   <sectionNumber>
    <xsl:value-of select="ancestor::FORM/@SECCODE"/>
   </sectionNumber>
   <primary>
    <xsl:value-of select="ancestor::FORM/@MAJOR"/>
   </primary>
   <formName>
    <xsl:value-of select="ancestor::FORM/@FORMCODE"/>
   </formName>
   <tagName>
    <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
   </tagName>
   <value>
    <xsl:value-of select="*"/>
   </value>
  </form>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This almost works for the first one but I need it to loop through each tag. 
I tried using <xsl:for-each...> but couldn't seem to get it to work.

I also get FIELDS in the <tagName> tag.  That is because name() is using the 
name of the current tag (I suppose) that I found in the match.

I can't seem to get the <xsl:copy> to work for my root node (to get the name 
of the Root Node).  Actually it works, but it puts 
(xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance) in the <form> tag. 
But the root node is <REPORT> as I wanted.

This is when I do it like this.

  <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates>
    <xsl:sort select="form/@Major" order="descending"/>
   </xsl:apply-templates>
  </xsl:copy>

If I do it as above, it puts tne xmlns stuff in the root node, which is now 
<root_node xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">.  How do I 
fix that?

Thanks,

Tom
