Hi,
I find it counter-intuitive, but it is best to always put the most generic templates above specific
ones. Especially when not using priorities on templates..
HTH,

I have a problem whereby if I include an xhtml doctype declaration in my
html then my xslt templates always match the wildcard.
Ive constructed a simple demonstration of a problem Im having, hoping a
sage older hand can tell me where Ive gone wrong.
It includes a simple transform, and two xhtml files which have two minor
differences: in the second I include the DOCTYPE declaration, and can
thus use the nbsp by name.
If I process them with xalan 2.7 (I had similar problems with msxml, and
switched because I hoped xalan might be different) the 'head' and 'body'
tags in the second file is always matched by the wildcard template.
java.exe -classpath %CLASSPATH% org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN
dummy.html -XSL dummy-clean.xslt
java.exe -classpath %CLASSPATH% org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN
dummy2.html -XSL dummy-clean.xslt
Hoping its something stupid (and thus easy to fix)
