Thanks David. Following two templates generates the same results: Cheers, <xsl:template match="link//llnode" mode="yyy"> <xsl:for-each select="*"> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="link" mode="yyy"> <xsl:for-each select="*//llnode"> </xsl:template> -----Original Message----- From: David Carlisle [mailto:davidc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 11 December 2003 18:17 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Why template match differs? > What is the different between following two statements? <xsl:template match="link//llnode" mode="yyy"> that matches anly llnode that is a descendent of a link node. so this <xsl:for-each select="*"> selects all children of those llink nodes. Your other template is almost completely different. <xsl:template match="link" mode="yyy"> that matches any link node <xsl:for-each select="//llnode"> this selects all llnode from anywhere in the document irrespective of which link node was matched. the " ..some action.. " is now executed on the link node not on its children as in the first template. You could yuse .//llnode in the second template to find all llnodes below the current link, but in either case if you know a more specific path than // it would be good to use it. // is very expensive it causes a search the full depth of the tree looking for the specified nodes.
