In order for your template to match under all nodes, would you not have to use // as in: <xsl:template match="//display-type"> <!--rules here --> </xsl:template> If your display-type node sits directly beneath another node you are using a template match for, then the // isn't necessary. Or is the above approach poor form? I can think of instances where the // might be useful for extracting deeply nested nodes of interest. Thanks. Cheers, Jim > Don't worry, that's how XSL works.

Do take a look at the XPath spec @ http://w3.org/TR/xpath Richard -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of bhavesh bhanushali Sent: Saturday, December 18, 1999 12:16 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Xsl problem (template matching) Hi I am newbie in xsl. My problem is:- I want to apply a particular template where ever that particular node exist i.e independent of its parent elements. for e.g <example> <name>xxxy</name> <display-type value="bullets"> <training>xyz</training> </display-type> <section>aaaa</section> <display-type value="bullets"> <topic>Hello</topic> </display-type> </example> I want to match (display-type) node and use the same template whereever it is present. I hope u understand. Can Anyone suggest the solution.
