Re: Changing an html colour value

    <xsl:apply-templates select="//x:body"/>

that will search your entire input document to an arbitrary depth to
find all body elements. If you only have one, a more specific path not
using // would be a lot more efficient.


  <xsl:copy-of select="x:table"/>

That says that you want a copy of the whole table, unchanged. You don't
want a copy so you don't want to use copy of. You want to transform it
so you want 

 <xsl:apply-templates select="x:table"/>

The transform you want to do is an identity transform (faq has entries
on this idiom) 

<xsl:template match="node()">
 <xsl:copy>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

except the things you don't want copying:


<xsl:template match="@bgcolor[.='#ffffff']">
  <xsl:attribute name="bgcolor">#999999</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
