Putting each <Item> on a separate line creates a text node before each <Item>. If the template rule for <List> processes its child nodes with: <xsl:apply-templates/> then those text nodes are also part of the context node-set. > The XML: > <List ordered="yes"> > <Item>text</Item> > ... > <Item>text</Item> > </List> In: <List ordered="yes"> <Item>text</Item> ... <Item>text</Item> </List> The first child of your <List> is the text " " (i.e., "
"), and the second child of the <List> is the first <Item>, and so on. You and I find it easy to gloss over the added whitespace when looking at the markup, but the XSLT processor is rather more literal minded. If you put: <xsl:strip-space elements="List"/> at the top of your stylesheet (after any xsl:import), then the whitespace-only text node children of <List> will be stripped when the XSLT processor builds a tree from your XML file, and the first child from your example <List> will be an <Item>. Alternatively, the template rule for <List> could select only its <Item> children with: <xsl:apply-templates select="Item"/> Regards, Tony Graham. ====================================================================== Tony.Graham@MenteithConsulting.com http://www.menteithconsulting.com Menteith Consulting Ltd Registered in Ireland - No. 428599 Registered Office: 13 Kelly's Bay Beach, Skerries, Co.
