Re: XSL does not transform correctly

2005-12-06 02:51:40
My XSL script does not extract information from the source XML file
correctly. Instead of extracting only the name of an element it extracts
everything.

XSL Script

Below is my XSL code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<xsl:template match="/project/namespace/querySubject/queryItem">
<xsl:for-each select="columnName">
<p> <xsl:value-of select="text() " /></p>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


This is because the "default template" is being used as you haven't
specified a root matching template.  This will apply-templates down
through the tree copying each text node to the output.

Add a root matching template that only selects the element you want :

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="/project/namespace/querySubject/queryItem"/>
</xsl:template>
