Re: Applying templates by selecting it

2005-07-20 08:16:47
Hu Wendell,

Yeah cheers. In fact in my first sample version, I was using 'node' instead of
'a' for naming my template. But then I did realise that it would be more
confusing due to the very function you mentioned (node()).

So in my email I changed the XML document from 'node' to 'a' but forgot to
change the template as well.

Anyway, lots of bandwith usage for nothing... my fault :)

Thanks anyway for taking some time to answer

Sylvain,

Also, that template matching "node" isn't doing anything. Try removing it.
You'll get the same result.

This is because you have no element named "node", so this template is never
matched.

You might have been trying to match "node()", but as you've discovered,
this is unnecessary (and in fact will often interfere with what you want).

Cheers,
Wendell

Ok I found it, it should be

<xsl:apply-templates select="root/a"/>

/me feels sad for wasting so much time...

Hi everyone,

I have the following simple stylesheet :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:apply-templates />
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="node">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Now I have also the following XML document :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
    <a>hello there</a>
</root>

Everythong works fine and I do get :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    hello there

But if I change :

<xsl:apply-templates />

To :

<xsl:apply-templates select="a"/>

Then I don't get any output like if it didn't go into the 'a' template.

I'm sure I'm missing something really stupid here but can't see it
(shame on
me).
