but I do not understand. why are the contents of the
<english_name>,
<german_name> and <prey> printed and why is value="" ??
The first part to this is the concept of "built in template rules"
Actually this is because there is an <xsl:value-of /> on the <eagles>
element - the built in templates will only get fired through an
apply-templates.
When you do a value-of on an element you get the text of all of its
child nodes concatinated together. Im not sure what you were intending
here so I wont second guess - if you post what you would like the result
of the transform to look like that would be helpful.

Hi Markus:
Welcome to the brave new world of XSLT :)
<xsl:for-each select="/birds/eagles">
This is actually iterating through each eagles element that is a child
of the birds element. You probably want: "/birds/eagles/species"
<input type="text" name="bla" value="{comment}"/>
Even if you were sitting on the right node, though, this
attribute value
template (AVT) will get the text content of a child comment _element_
not attribute. You probably want value="{(_at_)comment}"
but I do not understand. why are the contents of the
<english_name>,
<german_name> and <prey> printed and why is value="" ??
The first part to this is the concept of "built in template rules"
(please look up in your favorite reference). The default
rule for text
elements is to display them, you'll probably want to add:
<xsl:template match="text()"/>
Which will turn that off.
HTH!
Dion
