RE: Using XHTML generated with W3C tidy.

["Chris Bayes" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thorb,
You have no root rule so you need

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

Then you need to change your template to

<xsl:template match="//table">

so that you can get tables at any depth.

Ciao Chris
