====== Here's my simplified xml doc ========
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href =
'file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/doug/My%20Documents/ADE3.xsl' type =
'text/xsl'?>
<moduleExternal xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<parm>
<link>
<aValue>Hello</aValue>
</link>
</parm>
<parm>
<constraint>
<aValue>OOPS</aValue>
</constraint>
<link>
<aValue>World</aValue>
</link>
</parm>
</moduleExternal>
======== AND THE XSL file ==========
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="link/aValue">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
====== I'm opening the xml file in IE6.0 and what I get is this =====
Hello OOPSWorld
=========== This may be obvious to everyone but I thought that a match
pattern of "link/aValue" would skip over the <aValue> child of <constraint>
and get only <aValue> content that is a child of <link>.
TIA for any help with this... I've not been able to successfully wade
through all of the posts in biglist.
Best regards,
