xsl name of an element
Ragulf,
I think this is an off topic question. Maybe the opticians list can help
you ;-)
Your code
XXX<xsl:value-of select="name"/>YYY <br/>
My code
   <xsl:value-of select="name()" />

Mike/David just answered that although not that *specific* question
Mike> "/*" selects all the ELEMENT children of the root node (in a
well-formed document there will be exactly one)
David> I used * rather than an explicit name as (I think I remember)
that you explictly said that the top level element may have one of
several names in your situation.

Ciao Chris
