Re: Too many apply-templates call error -- can't figur

UlyLee,
I just had a similiar error message. Although my issues were
different, I would suggest creating a template that is specifically
for the root node and one that is for all descendants.

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(parent::*)]
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*[not(parent::*)]">
<!-- you code here -->
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
<!-- your code here -->
</xsl:template>

This simplistic approach might solve your problem.

You can rewrite this in 2.0 however you want. I use XSLT 1.0.
