XSL applies templates not working ... might be an XPath bug

I reworked the mny stylesheet to use app templates instead of call templates and it worked fine for my other style, which was more complex, but this one doesn't seem to work, even thought it was a much simpler template.

All it outputs is a sex node and a custom node level. I think it has something to do with my Xpath.

All I want is to display <user> information, nothing else

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

    <xsl:template name="hoo" match="/">
        <html>

The problem is in this code :

   <xsl:for-each select="folktask/member/user">

        <div class="userdiv">

            <xsl:apply-templates/>

        </div>
    </xsl:for-each>

This applies templates to all children of the current element user

- not to the element user

.

As a result, no match user

was selected.

Children user

are equal personal

and account

.

The templates matching these elements are selected and rendered.

Solution : Some cleaning is required, but the first obvious step is to replace the above code:



        <xsl:apply-templates select="folktask/member/user"/>

You will also have to move div

from the deleted body <xsl:for-each>

to the template that matches folktask/member/user

.

Corrected XSLT code:

                <h1>Registered Members</h1>

Performing the corrected conversion now gives the expected results :

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="user.css">

There are many mistakes. The main ones are as follows:



  • You cannot apply a template to an attribute
  • If you are writing <xsl:apply-templates select="personal/name"/>

    , you can write <xsl:template match="name">

    to match it. (And also for other nodes)
