Dear Michael, > If you're familiar with DOM, then "/" equates to the Document > node, and "/*" > to the document element (TipDatabase in your case). In > XSLT/XPath 1.0 the document node is called the "root node", > and the term "document element" is not used (I generally > refer to it as the "outermost element" to avoid > confusion: it is not the root of the tree, because it has a parent). > > The reason a separate document or root node is needed is that > it can contain comments and processing instructions among its > children, as well as the outermost element. thanks for the very good explanation. I think I have to go trough the specs of xpath when I want to do something usefull. Regards, David Preuss
