OUTPUT HTML:
<table>
<tr>
<td>John</td>

Thank you very much in advance

Answer 1

If you want a column for each item element, then you should start off by selecting the elements under only the first item elements, as these will represent the start of each row
<xsl:for-each select="item[1]/*">
Then, to build the row, get the relevant element under all item element which has the same name as the one currently selected
<xsl:apply-templates select="../../item/*[name() = name(current())]" />
Although it might be easier if you define a key like so...
<xsl:key name="items" match="item/*" use="name()" />
Then you get the elements with the same name like so:
<xsl:apply-templates select="key('items', name())" />
Try this XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:key name="items" match="item/*" use="name()" />
<xsl:template match="list">
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="item[1]/*">
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="key('items', name())" />
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item/*">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This assumes all elements are present under each item (well, at least under the first item).

You need to post the XSLT which you write for achive the result, below is the code you can use:
Final Updated Script:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="list">
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="item/name">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="item/image">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
