Mark:

Start by checking out the MSXML FAQ that Joshua Allen (blessings upon him) placed at www.netcrucible.com. Your stylesheet's namespace declaration claims you are using an obsolete language (http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl), not XSLT at all.

If you change your xsl namespace declaration and run it through a conformant processor, your stylesheet should work. At the moment the problem is either that:

a. Your stylesheet is correct but your processor is out of date, or b. Your stylesheet is correct but your processor doesn't know it's a stylesheet, because of the incorrect namespace.

Once you're actually running XSLT, things may look a bit clearer. And don't be dismayed by the gnashing of teeth: you have fallen into a pit that has claimed many victims.

Good luck,
Wendell

can someone tell me what's wrong with this? the xsl doesn't seem to match anything in the xml...mainly the line '<xsl:template match="text">':

XSL:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
<xsl:template match="text">
  <html>
  <body>
  hello
