RE: [xsl] Attempting *not* to copy certain nodes

[3rett 3onfield <brett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the wonderful guidance. I haven't been this pleased with 
anything programming-related in a very long time.

I've gotten very, very close... I think. I changed the SOAP feed I'd 
been getting to...

...and changed my XSLT to read...

I get no errors in Treebeard (Xalan--thank you for making me look up the 
 difference between Xerxes and Xalan) or Firebird or IE... and also no 
output. Is it an XPath issue? I've been trying to rule that out, but so 
far I'm still getting nothing: no errors and no output.

I really appreciate the help. So far I've been working so far through 
online tutorials, but I think some dead trees would do me good. Should I 
wait for new editions of the books listed in the FAQ (haven't seen 
anything in the FAQ or the archives about updates) or head over to the 
bookstore and buy what's on the shelves?
