 Hi Mike. yes, I get that to... I add the <header> tag and a title and it is ignored also. maby there is some attribute of the <xsl:output> tag that could make it work. I made an HTML page with the output of the stylesheet and work fine, so the problem ins't the HTML code. -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mike Leahy Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 2:19 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Counting nodes - now specifying body in stylesheet Thank you all for your suggestions - I'm definitely planning to move all my work to XSLT at some point. Américo, I tried adding the xsl:output tag in the beginning of the xsl document, and that solved the table width problem. I'm still left with one small detail; when I use the following body tag: <body bgcolor="#bbbbbb" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" rightmargin="0" margin="0"> I'm still left with whitespace below the table - do you get this as well? Is there a way to get the <body> properties to apply to the entire page like in a normal HTML file?
