How can I copy all tag with attributes?

for example I have the following Tag in XML file
<form name="queryForm" action="test.xml" method="post" target="results">
 <tag1/>
 <tag2/>
</form>

is there is easy way to preserve the <form> tag with attributes but process
all tags inside it?

Often you need to do this for more than one element type. The following is a short way of saying "copy the element and all attributes for a bunch of element types named "form", "this", "that" and "other":


<xsl:template match="form|this|that|other">
  <xsl:copy><!--copy node being visited-->
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/><!--copy of all attributes-->
    <xsl:apply-templates/><!--process the children-->
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

I hope this helps.
