I'm not sure where you the apply-templates would be called, so the initial
part of the xpath expression may not be correct, but it will be something
like:

<xsl:apply-templates select="site[uid = $desired-id]" />

where you've set the desired-id variable before the call, or have it passed
in as a parameter.

Hi

Here is a simple question from an absolute beginner!

Suppose I have an XML document with a complex DTD. The DTD contains an 
element deep in the hierarchy called <site>. A <site> contains within it an 
element called <uid> that uniquely identifies the <site>.

How would I transform the XML doc to another XML doc that contained just 
the <site> element with a given <uid> (the output to include all child 
elements of site)?

I said it was a simple question!
