Re: Another newbie question

     <xsl:template match="/CONTAINERS">
This only works if CONTAINERS is the document element but  you indicated
I think that your DEPT_POSTHTML elements were outside this.

        <xsl:copy-of select="PRE_HTML"
            <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|text()"/>
        </xsl:copy-of>

you are confusing the syntax for xsl:copy and xsl:copy-f. and also
that select expression starts from the current CONTAINER node, but
PRE_HTML isn't a child of that.

So....

===========================================
<x>
<CONTAINERS>
    <CONTAINER>
        <PRE_HTML>DEPT_PREHTML</PRE_HTML>
        <TITLE>Departments</TITLE>
        <POST_HTML>DEPT_POSTHTML</POST_HTML>
    </CONTAINER>
    <CONTAINER>
        <PRE_HTML>EMP_PREHTML</PRE_HTML>
        <TITLE>Employees</TITLE>
        <POST_HTML>EMP_POSTHTML</POST_HTML>
    </CONTAINER>
</CONTAINERS>

<DEPT_PREHTML>
    <DIV id="Layer1" style="position: absolute">
        <IMG src="/images/edu.gif" width="917"
height="104"/>
    </DIV>
</DEPT_PREHTML>

<DEPT_POSTHTML>
     <!-- Some more well formed HTML. -->kkk
</DEPT_POSTHTML>

</x>

===========================================

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                version="1.0"
                >

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>


<xsl:template match="CONTAINERS">pppp
    <xsl:for-each select="CONTAINER">l

        <xsl:copy-of select="//*[name(.)=current()/PRE_HTML]" />

        <!-- Do some more things here -->

        <xsl:copy-of select="//*[name(.)=current()/POST_HTML]" />

    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

PS you see it is better to ask on the list, than to ask directly:-)

PPS You mail was included twice, once as text and once a HTML, please
don't do that.
