There is also an *excellent* FAQ at: http://www.dpawson.co.uk ><xsl:template match ="/order"> {starts from document root,Child of a >document root } {does it return all order elements or first match?} This matches only the document element of the source document only if the document element is named "order". ><xsl:template match ="order"> {starts from ? Child of a which context >node ? } {does it return all order elements or first match?} This matches *any* element named order in the document. ><xsl:template match ="//order"> {starts from ? Child of a which context >node ? } {does it return all order elements or first match?} This is equivalent to match="order". Note that none of the above "return" anything ... it would help you to review basic concepts of template matching. There is a 120-page excerpt of our book that can be freely downloaded from our web site ... that should give you some of the basics you need. A prose rewrite of the first two modules is also available through the XML.com link below. I hope this helps. ............. Ken -- G. Ken Holman mailto:gkholman@C...
