Dynamically create an HTML form using xml and xslt reusable

I have a large number of xml files:

Firstly:

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

Secondly:

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

etc.

There will no longer be nested tags. But the property tag name will be different for each xmldata file.

So, I want to dynamically generate an HTML form using XSLT , which will be used to read data for each xml . If for each property you should use a simple text box. and we can take the first entry as a reference for the number and name of the properties.

Output required

 <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 an example for an example.

Do you mean sth like this?

 <?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>
