It's true that the processor starts from the document node. But it's almost never a problem if you don't specify a template that matches this node - the built-in template for the root node is exactly the same as that above, so you only *have* to specify it if you've got some other template, somewhere else in your stylesheet, that matches the document node and does something different. [Also note that the document node can have more than one child - there might be comments and processing instructions before or after the top-level (document) element, and these are also children of the document node. Indeed, there's actually nothing stopping XSLT from working on documents with more than one top-level element, but you have to pass them to the processor through code rather than as serialized XML documents.] Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
