Alireza,
you can do it in a number of ways, as of now, a couple of those come to my mind:
1) Build an intermediate XSLT stage to transform the found elements in a common
row/attributes schema... later to be rendered in
HTML by a single XSLT
<customer>
<name>Alireza</name>
<family>Fattahi</family>
</customer>
or
<product>
<brand>IBM</brand>
<price>10,000</price>
</product>>
Will become:
<row>
<column>Alireza</column>
<column>Fattahi</column>
</row>
or
<row>
<column>IBM</column>
<column>10,000</column>
</row>
And then they will become:
<tr>
<td>Alireza</td>
<td>Fattahi</td>
</tr>
or
<tr>
<td>IBMtd>
<td>10,000</td>
</tr>
2) Build an XSLT which renders any root's children as rows of an HTML table
(regardless the name of such children) and any children
of them as single HTML columns
Hence:
<customer>
<name>Alireza</name>
<family>Fattahi</family>
</customer>
or
<product>
<brand>IBM</brand>
<price>10,000</price>
</product>
Will directly become:
<tr>
<td>Alireza</td>
<td>Fattahi</td>
</tr>
or
<tr>
<td>IBMtd>
<td>10,000</td>
</tr>
I'd prefer the first approach, since then you can re-use the "intermediate" schema for
other purposes.

> Hi,

> We want to create a web site with 40 pages. The site has typical input forms

> Here is an example:

> <customer>
> <name>Alireza</name>

> 2)
> <product>
> <brand>IBM</brand>
> <price>10,000</price>
> </product>>
