RE: Newbie Q: Why are element contents being passed th

I've had a quick look at this, and there's a couple of problems.

Firstly, the input document contains an <input> element that hasn't been
closed:

<openingtime>
		<label>Opening Time</label>
		<input type="select" option="singlechoice">
		<option value="10:00">10:00</option>

This needs to be closed if you want to use this as an xml input document
(i.e. </input> after the list of options, as in the following input).

The main problem, though, is that you're not taking the default
templates into account:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:template match="*|/">
		<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="text()|@*">
		<xsl:value-of select="."/>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="*|/" mode="?">
		<xsl:apply-templates mode="?"/>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="text()|@*" mode="?">
		<xsl:value-of select="."/>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="processing-instruction()|comment()"/>
	<xsl:template match="processing-instruction()|comment()"
mode="?"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

These templates are automatically included whenever you create an xsl.
Your apply-templates call within the form template is calling on these
templates, and as you can see, whenever it finds a text node it'll
output the value of that node in your output document, causing the
output you see.

What you'll have to do is create a set of templates matching the rest of
the elements in your document to control how they'll be output in your
document.  If you're just going to copy them over, however, you could
just replace the call to apply-templates with a for-each loop that will
make a copy-of each child element:

<xsl:for-each select="*">
	<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>


Hope that helps,
