You have no template defined to handle the Data node, so it is being
processed by the built-in templates, which results in the text value
of car nodes being output. If you want a copy of the Data node, then
use xsl:copy-of
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="Data"/>
</xsl:template>
or define a template to handle the Data nodes
<xsl:template match="Data">
<!-- do something -->
</xsl:template>
Hope that helps,

I have a very simple question about transforming XML to XML. I have been
using XSLT to transform XML to XHTML and displaying the result in Internet
Explorer. I would like to do the same but with XML displayed in the browser.
A search of the archives has not provided a satisfactory solution. Here is
a simplified XML file, testdata.xml:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="renewal.xsl"?>
<Data>
<car>Chevy</car>
<car>Dodge</car>
<car>Ford</car>
</Data>
Here is a copy of my XSL file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Data"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
From what I have read and from some of the examples I have seen, I would
expect this to return an XML file exactly like the original document
(testdata.xml). Instead it is displaying a string consisting of the text
from the <car> elements, without the XML tags: ChevyDodgeFord. What am I
overlooking?
