Re:  Making an FAQ page from XML
Grrr!
No difference. This is how the relevant template looks now. So grateful for this hlp btw, I really am getting a feel for the power xsl give and want to use all this in my future projects!

<xsl:template match='faqlist'>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="*[local-name() != 'faq']"/>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="faq" mode="question"/>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="faq" mode="answer"/>
</xsl:template>

Can you try again? I tried that on Saxon8 and it works. Here is the output (pretty printed for your viewing pleasure)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tr>
 <td valign="top" width="24" class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">1</td>
 <td class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">
   <a href="#1">Question One?</a>
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top" width="24" class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">2</td>
 <td class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">
   <a href="#1">Question Two?</a>
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top" width="24" class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">3</td>
 <td class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">
   <a href="#1">Question Three?</a>
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top" width="24" class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">1</td>
 <td class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">
   <a href="#1">Answer One</a>
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top" width="24" class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">2</td>
 <td class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">
   <a href="#1">Answer Two.</a>
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top" width="24" class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">3</td>
 <td class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">
   <a href="#1">Answer Three.</a>
 </td>
</tr>

here is the XSLT if you need it:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output media-type='text/html' />


 <xsl:template match='faqlist'>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="*[local-name() != 'faq']" />
   <xsl:apply-templates select="faq" mode="question" />
   <xsl:apply-templates select="faq" mode="answer" />
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match='faq' mode="question">
   <tr>
     <td valign='top' width='24' class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">
       <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::*) + 1" />
     </td>
     <td class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">
       <a href='#1'>
         <xsl:value-of select='q' />
       </a>
     </td>
   </tr>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match='faq' mode="answer">
   <tr>
     <td valign='top' width='24' class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">
       <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::*) + 1" />
     </td>
     <td class="mText" style="font-size: 11px">
       <a href="#1">
         <xsl:value-of select='a' />
       </a>
     </td>
   </tr>
 </xsl:template>

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

</xsl:stylesheet>
