Hi again,

because you have used parent::node() (which could more simply be written
as ..) rather than parent::* then if it doesn't find the $node-id it
will reach / and then (because your template only matches * not /) it
will apply the default template to / which will apply templates to its
element child, hitting this template again and looping forever.
cahanging the match to "*|/" should fix it.

As I thought immediately after hitting "send" ... a slightly neater solution.


Or apply-templates select="parent::*", as David also almost says.

Cheers,
Wendell
