xsl apply template namespace
Hello,

<xsl:template select="kcm">
	<xsl:message>template hits</xsl:message>
	<!-- This message is never seen -->
</xsl:template>


watch out the above construct. xsl template doesnt have a select attribute...

this should be
<xsl:template match="kcm">
	<xsl:message>template hits</xsl:message>
	<!-- This message is never seen -->
</xsl:template>

( I can imagine you kicking yourself )

I havent seen rest of your code. See if this works...

Subject:  apply-template doesn't hit template

Hello all,


I have an embarrassing simple apply-templates/template problem. Here's my
source document:

<kcmtests>

<kcm kcfg="true" [...]>
[...]
</kcm>

<kcm kcfg="false" [...]>
[...]
</kcm>

<kcm kcfg="false" [...]>
[...]
</kcm>

</kcmtests>

There's 21 kcm elements, all of them have "kcfg='true'".

<xsl:template select="kcm">
	<xsl:message>template hits</xsl:message>
	<!-- This message is never seen -->
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="//kcm[@kcfg='true']"/>
	<xsl:message>
		<xsl:value-of select="count(//kcm[@kcfg='true'])"/>
		<!-- This reports 0, which is correct -->
	</xsl:message>

	<xsl:apply-templates select="//kcm[@kcfg='false']"/>
	<xsl:message>
		<xsl:value-of select="count(//kcm[@kcfg='false'])"/>
		<!-- This reports 21, which is correct -->
	</xsl:message>
</xsl:template>


What I want to achieve is to in one place select entries(the root template),
and then with the first template format them for representation -- but it
doesn't hit. Instead, the selected items(the 21 kcm) is printed right out in
the output(their content, no elements).


I have two questions:

1. Why doesn't the template hit?

2. Why are the content simply sent to the output? Is it because I selected
them, but no template matched?

The above XSL is that simple, I've commented out everything else for testing
purposes.



Thanks in advance,


Frans
