Re: [xsl] xml elements as output after xslt parsing

[sudheshna iyer <sudheshnaiyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the explanation. But I also want to print  <newCD>. With the
change " <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>" I don't see any output.

Input:
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- Edited by XMLSpy. -->
<catalog>
<cd>
        <title>Empire Burlesque</title>

    </cd>
</catalog>

XSL:
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- Edited by XMLSpy. -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>  
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="cd">
  <newCD>
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
  </newCD>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Needed
Output:
<newCD>
    <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
</newCD>

Sudheshna,
I'm not sure what 2 XML input documents you wanted to traverse... I
only
see one.
But you can get the output you're looking for by changing the
last
template to:

<xsl:template match="cd">
  <newCD>
    <xsl:copy-of
select="*"/>
  </newCD>
</xsl:template>

This is because <xsl:value-of> gets
the text value of a nodeset, whereas
<xsl:copy-of /> copies each node and its
descendants.
