Hi All,

I want to display part of XML using XSLT but its displaying other part of XML document also. below is my code :

XML

Code:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<profile> 
  <users>
 <user>
      <firstname>John</firstname>
      <lastname>Won</lastname>  
 </user>
  </users>
  <departments>
 <department>Sales</department>
 <department>Finance</department>
 <department>Order</department>
 
  <departments>
</profile>

XSLT:

Code:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
      xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
      version="2.0">
    
        
    <xsl:template match="/">
        
        <xsl:apply-templates/>       
        
    </xsl:template>
    
        
    <xsl:template match="user">                 
            <html>
                <body>
                    <table>
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <font size="5" color="blue"><xsl:value-of select="firstname"></xsl:value-of></font>
                                <br/><br/>
                                <xsl:value-of select="lastname"></xsl:value-of>
                            </td> 
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </body>
            </html>                        
        
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I just want to display users information but it is displaying department as well.

How can i just display users information.#

Thanks
Nelly

Please note that there is a forum dedicated to XSLT where you should post such questions.
As for the problem, you can fix that by changing

Code:

    <xsl:template match="/">
        
        <xsl:apply-templates/>       
        
    </xsl:template>

to

Code:

    <xsl:template match="/">
        
        <xsl:apply-templates select="profile/users/user"/>       
        
    </xsl:template>

Hi Martin

Thanks for your reply. It is working, is there any other way to achieve the same without giving absolute path in select.

If you don't want to process the departments elements then adding

Code:

<xsl:template match="departments"/>

in your initial stylesheet would suppress any output from that element and its descendants.
