Someone will correct me if I am wrong, but, you did not specify an axis, therefore you are really saying child::*. You are looking for all the element nodes that are children of your current contect node. Is it possible that relitive to your context node, these elemenets are not childern? Maybe try /descendant::* which should get you all the elements that are descentants to the root. -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Charles Cantrell Sent: Monday, July 17, 2000 10:20 AM To: XSL List (E-mail) Subject: Why aren't rules matched with "*"? I have the following rule in my xsl stylesheet. <xsl:template match="Para"> <p"> <xsl:apply-templates select="Menu|Table|WindowID|Illustration|Prompt|ErrMsg|text()"/> </p> </xsl:template> and it successfully matches and applies rules for each of the templates specified in the "select" expression. For example, the following rule for "Menu" is matched: <xsl:template match="Menu"> <xsl:if test="contains(.,'1,1,4,1')"> THIS IS <i>REALLY</i> MENU 1,4,1,1 </xsl:if> <strong style="font-family: arial; color:green"><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></strong> </xsl:template> However, if I change the rule to: <xsl:template match="Para"> <p> <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> </p> </xsl:template> then no templates are matched. Why aren't the Menu, Table and so on rules matched, as well as others? I thought that the "*" was a universal selector, and so should get everything. What is it that I don't understand here. Thanks.
