<!-- ** this doesn't work, but it should, right? ** --> <xsl:apply-template select="ChildOfRoot"/> <!-- ** This does work ** --> <xsl:apply-template select=/ROOTNODE/AnotherChildofRoot"/> well they can't both select a non empty set of nodes. If your document element is <ROOTNODE> then the only element child of the root node / is ROOTNODE and so the first select expression will return the empty node set. If the document element is <ChildOfRoot> then the xpath expression /ROOTNODE/AnotherChildofRoot will not select anything. I suspect that you are confusing the top level (document) element (which is an element node) with the root node of the document (which is not) David XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
