Re: [xsl] Replicating parent elements in table with children.

Alan,
Try:
<xsl:template match="Table">
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Table1"/>
<xsl:if test="not(Table1)">
<tr><xsl:apply-templates/></tr>
</xsl:if>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Table1">
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="../AvgScore | DeliveryID"/>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="AvgScore | DeliveryID">
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</td>
</xsl:template>
This gets you most of the way there. But you haven't said *how* you want
"the contents of <table>" when there's no table1 (so I guessed). Maybe it's
unrelated, but you also haven't shown where the "975" comes from in your
sample data.

I need help with the looping/xpath approach to make this happen.
As you may be able to see from my code, the solution may not be in any
"looping/xpath" approach at all. Actually, the sooner you can unlearn to
think about "looping" (generally speaking a foreign concept to XSLT), the
sooner you can see how to write XSLT.
Cheers,
Wendell
