    <p>Given below is my XML input. How do I copy or match selected elements that I want to reflect in my XML output using XSL. </p> <p>The general idea of the logic should be to specify only the elements I am interested instead of specifying the elements that I don't like to be included in the output. The elements that I want to reflect in my output XML are always present in the XML Inpput. The rest of the elements vary depending on what the system has generated and so I cannot just specify what to remove.</p> <p>I was able to this without the namespace from the input by doing the copy-of, but when the namespace is present the code is not working. </p> <p>I found a way to remove the namespace but when combined with the copy-of, didn't work as well. I am quite confused as to how XSL behaves. </p> <p>Please bear with my inquiry, I'm very new to XML and XSL and I was assigned to this task because no one from our team had the experience working with XML. Thank you in advance.</p> <p>XML Input:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Transaction xmlns="http://www.test.com/rdc.xsd"&gt; &lt;Transaction&gt; &lt;StoreName id="aa"&gt;STORE A&lt;/StoreName&gt; &lt;TransNo&gt;TXN0001&lt;/TransNo&gt; &lt;RegisterNo&gt;REG001&lt;/RegisterNo&gt; &lt;Items&gt; &lt;Item id="1"&gt; &lt;ItemID&gt;A001&lt;/ItemID&gt; &lt;ItemDesc&gt;Keychain&lt;/ItemDesc&gt; &lt;/Item&gt; &lt;Item id="2"&gt; &lt;ItemID&gt;A002&lt;/ItemID&gt; &lt;ItemDesc&gt;Wallet&lt;/ItemDesc&gt; &lt;/Item&gt; &lt;/Items&gt; &lt;IDONTLIKETHIS_1&gt; &lt;STOREXXX&gt;XXX&lt;/STOREXXX&gt; &lt;TRANSXXX&gt;YYY&lt;/TRANSXXX&gt; &lt;/IDONTLIKETHIS_1&gt; &lt;IDONTLIKETHIS_2&gt; &lt;STOREXXX&gt;XXX&lt;/STOREXXX&gt; &lt;TRANSXXX&gt;YYY&lt;/TRANSXXX&gt; &lt;/IDONTLIKETHIS_2&gt; &lt;/Transaction&gt; &lt;/Transaction&gt; </code></pre> <p>Desired Output:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Transaction&gt; &lt;Transaction&gt; &lt;StoreName id="aa"&gt;STORE A&lt;/StoreName&gt; &lt;TransNo&gt;TXN0001&lt;/TransNo&gt; &lt;RegisterNo&gt;REG001&lt;/RegisterNo&gt; &lt;Items&gt; &lt;Item id="1"&gt; &lt;ItemID&gt;A001&lt;/ItemID&gt; &lt;ItemDesc&gt;Keychain&lt;/ItemDesc&gt; &lt;/Item&gt; &lt;Item id="2"&gt; &lt;ItemID&gt;A002&lt;/ItemID&gt; &lt;ItemDesc&gt;Wallet&lt;/ItemDesc&gt; &lt;/Item&gt; &lt;/Items&gt; &lt;/Transaction&gt; &lt;/Transaction&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've tried the code below but the problem with it is that I'm missing the second Transaction element and the xmlns attribute is present in the root element:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template match="*"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="@*"/&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates/&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="node()[not(self::*)]"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="."/&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="*"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="x:Transaction/x:StoreName"/&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="x:Transaction/x:TransNo"/&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="x:Transaction/x:RegisterNo"/&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="x:Transaction/x:Items"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
