I know I am a newb, but please bear with me:
I have a simple XSL doc:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/HTML/BODY">
Start
<xsl:apply-templates />
Stop
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="[EMAIL PROTECTED]'ffffee']">
Starting TD Match
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
Ending TD Match
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It basically looks for all column nodes with the bgcolor attribute set
to ffffee. What's wierd is that, upon running it on the page
at http://biz.yahoo.com/p/, it outputs not only what I tell it too (the
literals plus the copy of the TD tags), but also the text between ALL
tags. What am I doing wrong?
The foo.out is one such failed attempt to make this work.
BTW, I am using the nekoHTML recommended earlier, and it seems to parse
the HTML just fine.

Hi Michael,
be aware of the default templates. If the style sheet processor does not find a
matching template for a node, it applies default templates. The default template
for an element is to apply the templates to all child nodes, and this includes
text nodes. And guess what -- the default template for text nodes emits the
content to the output.
Hope that helps.
Klaus
