There is none. So the default apply-templates is used which doesn't select template 1 because it matches an attribute node.

Subject: [xsl] copy attribute question

Hello,

I am wondering why the context seems to be different in the following templates because I thought the output would be the same.

Input:
<a id="1"/>

Template 1:
<xsl:template match="a/@*">
   <aa>
     <xsl:copy/>
   </aa>
</xsl:template>

Template 2:
<xsl:template match="a">
   <xsl:for-each select="@*">
     <aa>
       <xsl:copy/>
     </aa>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Template 1 doesn't produce any output and template 2 outputs:
<aa id="1"/>

Why doesn't Template 1 copy the attribute node to element <aa> like template 2?


regards,
Garvin
