RE: Hierarchy error

Title: Message

This is usually a problem with output that is not well formed XML.  Try switching your output to the text output method and have a look.  Chances are you have multiple top-level nodes or a text node at the top level or some similar problem.

Subject: Hierarchy error

Hello,

I'm running into the Hierarchy error in the following scenario.
The Neko HTML parser is called and returns a Document object that
is then passed to Xalan (source attached).

I don't think the error is in the
stylesheet because I've tried swapping out my stylesheet
with the birds.xsl in the Xalan distribution with the same result.
 
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks.
