[xsl] Newbie Q: Why are element contents being passed through?

Subject: [xsl] Newbie Q: Why are element contents being passed through?

Many apologies if this is a FAQ; I didn't find it when looking, but the FAQ at dpawson.co.uk is massive and I may have missed it.

I have an xml source doc which I want to turn into an xhtml document with a form, inputs, labels and so forth. What is happening is that the contents of the elements in the xml document are turning up in the output and I can't understand why. I have simplified the xml and the xsl until there is almost nothing happening, and the element contents still come through.

What can I do? Any help will be appreciated. (And if there is any way to deal with the bizarre spacing in the output document that would be appreciated too!)

Best regards
Eli


Here are the two input docs and the output. xml: <?xml version="1.0"?> <form name="rateshop" action="backend/update-shop.php"> <shopid> <label>Shop ID</label> <input type="hidden"/> </shopid> <name> <label>Name</label> <input type="text"/>
