Thanks for the help. But I really donot understand why this happens and how
to solve it. I have the following code copied from MSDN.
Books.xml
<?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="MSSample.xsl"?>
<catalog>
<Annotation title="Testing Annotation" type="Interesting" author="jain"
comments="Another ONe" linkto="">
<book id="bk102">
<author>Ralls, Kim</author>
<title>Midnight Rain</title>
<genre>Fantasy</genre>
<price>5.95<price1>5.95</price1></price>
<Annotation title="whatsover" type="Important" author="jain"
comments="Good for me" linkto="">
<publish_date>2000-12-16</publish_date>
</Annotation>
<description>A former architect battles corporate zombies,
an evil sorceress, and her own childhood to become queen
of the world.
</description>
</book>
</Annotation>
<book id="bk106">
<Annotation type="interesting">
<author>Randall, Cynthia</author>
</Annotation>
<title>Lover Birds</title>
<genre>Romance</genre>
<price>4.95</price>
<publish_date>2000-09-02</publish_date>
<description>When Carla meets Paul at an ornithology
conference, tempers fly as feathers get ruffled.</description>
</book>
</catalog>

MSSample-import.xsl --->
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<!-- Override built-in template. -->
<xsl:template match="text()"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="book">
<i>
<xsl:apply-templates select="title"/>
</i>
<xsl:text> By: </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="author"/>
<br/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title">
<b>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</b>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="author">
<font color="blue">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</font>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
--------------------
MSSample.xsl --->
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:import href="MSsample-import.xsl"/>
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="Annotation">
<DIV style="background:Yellow">
<font face="Arial" color="RED">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</font>
</DIV>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
-----------------------
Now while displaying the file, only if the Annotation tag is the parent of
the book tag, then only the contents are displayed . Else if, the annotation
tag is made parent of (say.. <author> tag), then the contents of the tag
disappear; Why ?
Also, the font color of the font is not overrided to RED as per the
priority.. It is still shown as Blue for the author.
THanks and Regards

This is exactly what xsl:apply-imports does.
