RE: Simple Problem

["Mark Swardstrom" <swards@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the output I get with this XSL, XML.  It's not calling the first 
template match for some reason.  Instead, it is calling the second for all 
elements.

XSL:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:template match="*">
	<p><xsl:apply-templates /></p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*[. != '']">
	<b><xsl:value-of select="name()"/>:</b> <xsl:apply-templates /><br/>
</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>

XML:

<root>
 <node>
   <item>data1</item>
   <item2>data2</item2>
 </node>
 <node2>
   <item>data3</item>
   <item2>data4</item2>
   <item3>
     <subItem>data5</subItem>
   </item3>
 </node2>
</root>



HTML:

<b>root:</b>
 <b>node:</b>
   <b>item:</b>data1<br/>
   <b>item2:</b>data2<br/>
 <br/>
 <b>node2:</b>
   <b>item:</b>data3<br/>
   <b>item2:</b>data4<br/>
   <b>item3:</b>
     <b>subItem:</b>data5<br/>
   <br/>
 <br/>
<br/>
</xmp>
