Subject: Re: XML data appearing in transformed document
From: wbossons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2006 15:56:08 -0400
Per your request -- sorry, but this is pretty long ... Any help is
appreciated ... here again is the issue ...
**
I am parsing some xml to output as a tree.
The transform works, but I'm also seeing the xml data in the result.
Example follows:
**
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
   <html>
     <head>
       <LINK REL="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/tree.css"/>
       <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="tree.js"></SCRIPT>
       <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="../common/css.js"></SCRIPT>
   </head>
     <body>
   <table>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </table>
 </body>
 </html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="//contents">

       <tr>

Hi,

**************************
Any thoughts as to why this happens? I have never seen this before except
when specifically asking for /* of a parent or child node.

i guess, may be u are using an <xsl:value-of select="." kind of
operation when the root node is matched. then it will print
concatenation of all parsed character data.
but it will be difficult to tell without seeing your xsl.
what xsl you are using.
paste your xsl file, xml file (also if possible your expected
transformed xml output)..
then it would be easier to understand the situation. :)-

kind regards,
Jagdishwar B.
