RE: How to filter element values...

It looks like the <xsl:apply-templates mode="g"/> at the bottom of the Global template is causing the default template to get invoked.

Adding a new empty template

  <xsl:template match="Global/text() | EVENT/text()" mode="g"/>

Will fixes the problem.

I'm not sure why the default template is being invoked in this case. I read both http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#modes and http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#built-in-rule and they seem to be saying that only templates with a matching mode will be invoked. The 

Can anyone explain why this is happening?

Hi,

I am using XSL to generate another XSL file from an XML file. I am interested in only Element names and attributes but not it's values. for the following XML 


<SiebelMessage>
<Global param="A" name="Y">aaaaa</Global>
<Global type="if" name="A" select="abcd">bbbb</Global>
<Global type="when" name="Y" select="ccc" otherwise="bbbbb">ccccc</Global>

<EVENT spec="IDL:sciOmSiebelEvents/RouterToOmServer:1.0#OrderCopyEvent\">
 ddddd
</EVENT>
</SiebelMessage>

I am getting the output as 

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:preserve-space elements=""/>
    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
    <xsl:param name="A"/>

 aaaaa 

<xsl:variable name="A">
        <xsl:value-of select="abcd"/>
    </xsl:variable>

 bbbb 

<xsl:variable name="Y">
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test=" ">
                <xsl:value-of select=" ccc"/>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:value-of select=" bbbbb"/>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:variable>

 ccccc ddddd 

<xsl:template match="*"/>
    <xsl:template match="SiebelMessage"/>
    <!-- End of SiebelMessage -->
</xsl:stylesheet>


I am not sure why the element values are coming when i am not refering it them. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated..


Thanks
