Re: [xsl] Can you apply a template match on a copy node?

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

if you really want to style every <td> in the same way, why don't you 
want to use CSS?

td {
    width: 500px;
    background-color: red;
}

If not, what's your processing framework? In Cocoon for example a 2 step 
transformation would be really easy. More information on xalan:nodeset() 
you can find at http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensionslib.html#ex-nodeset.

Regards,

Joerg
