RE: How to add a top level element to the result ?

hi,
Interesting.....It worked.

In the apply templates below
  <xsl:template match="/">
<Message><xsl:apply-templates /></Message>
</xsl:template>

If I change the expression for match to /A/B//C instead of / ie,similar to the match expression in the next rule then
it wont work.
Why is it so?
A/B//C means match C or all its descendants and then apply the templates.
So what is preventing the tag from being displayed?
 thanks
  Samuel Abraham

What about
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<Message><xsl:apply-templates /></Message>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/A/B//C">
<xsl:element name="{@attr1}">
<xsl:apply-templates />
<xsl:value-of select="@attr2"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="T"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Ciao Chris
