Hello Martin, I used this same xslt, but I don't get the desired result. All I get is exact copy of the my original xml file. In my original file inside my root element there is is an attribute "xmlns=http://www.plmxml.org/Schemas/PLMXMLSchema" defined. I noticed that if I keep this attribute in my original xml file, all I get back after transformation is exact copy of the source. However, if I remove this attribute then transform works exactly as I needed. Is this normal, how do I workaround this issue? Thanks.

Change this template >> <xsl:template match="UserValue"> >> <xsl:copy> >> <xsl:element name="{@title}"> >> <xsl:value-of select="@value"/> >> </xsl:element> >> </xsl:copy> >> </xsl:template> to <xsl:template match="pl:UserValue" xmlns:pl="http://www.plmxml.org/Schemas/PLMXMLSchema"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:element name="{@title}"> <xsl:value-of select="@value"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
Hello Martin, Thanks. It worked. Just to see what happens, I changed "pl:UserValue" to "junk:UserValue" and "xmlns:pl" to "xmlns:junk" and it still works!!! Now I am curious as why it works with "pl" or with some random text as "junk". But thank you for helping me.

What matters is the namespace URI (in your case http://www.plmxml.org/Schemas/PLMXMLSchema), the prefix (e.g. 'pl' or 'junk') can be freely choosen, you simply need to bind it to the namespace URI of the elements you want to match. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
