Re: Hot to get names ??

Hi Khalid,

the following should solve your problem:

<xsl:template match="product">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*[starts-with(name(), 'udt')]"/>
</xsl:template>

You need exactly the same for <edition> and it should work.

If you want to test for <last-modified> and <start-date> too, you have to
add more filters:

<xsl:apply-templates
select="*[following-sibling::start-date][preceding-sibling::last-modified][s
tarts-with(name(), 'udt')]"/>

Regards,

Joerg
