Hi,
I have the following xsl sheet (Very simple) and when I do
not include the
<xsl:template match="*" /> I get my output the way I want it,
but with all
the remainder of the xml as text at the bottom of the screen.
If I include
the match="*" template I get nothing at all.
Any pointers would be handy. (NOTE: All paths in templates
are absolute)
Cheers
Simon

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<!-- template rule matching source /root/tables element -->
<xsl:template match="/root/tables">
<h1>Avaliable subsystems and signals</h1>
<table border="1" cellpadding="3">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Subsystem</th>
<th>Time Select (Not implemented)</th>
<th>Signal Select</th>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/root/tables/table"/>
</tbody>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/root/tables/table">
<tr>
<td>
<b><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></b>
</td>
<td width="50" bgcolor="red">
<b><u>Time stamp not implemented yet!</u></b>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:for-each select="column">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="/root/tables/table/column"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/root/tables/table/column">
<b>Click to select :</b><xsl:value-of select="."/><br/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- This is the line causing the problem -->
<xsl:template match="*" />
When the processing starts, the build-in template for "/" will kick in, and
process all child nodes. The template above will be used to process the "root"
element, thus the other templates above will never be used as it does not
select any nodes for processing. If you want to process just "/root/tables",
then e.g. replace the template causing problems with
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="root/tables" />
</xsl:template>
