I have this xml file (a.xml):

code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="a.xsl"?>

<document>

	<list>

		<item>1</item>

		<item>2</item>

		<item>3</item>

	</list>

</document>



this xslt file (a.xsl):

code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

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

	<xsl:template match="/">

		<html><body>

			<xsl:apply-templates select="//list"/>

		</body></html>

	</xsl:template>





	<xsl:template match="list">

		<ul>

			<xsl:for-each select="node()">

				<li>element

					<xsl:apply-templates select="." />

				</li>

			</xsl:for-each>

		</ul>

	</xsl:template>



</xsl:stylesheet>



and this is the result aftere the transformation with saxon 6.5.3 (a.html):

code:
<html>

   <body>

      <ul>

         <li>element

         </li>

         <li>element 1

         </li>

         <li>element

         </li>

         <li>element 2

         </li>

         <li>element

         </li>

         <li>element 3

         </li>

         <li>element

         </li>

      </ul>

   </body>

</html>




Why there are so many <li> items in the output and not just 3??? If i open the file a.xml with intertnet explorer 6.0 there are only 3 item in the list, but if i open it with FireFox the result is the same of saxon. Why? thank you for you replies.

Since you match all nodes within <list>, the whitespace before, after and between the item elements will also be matched. Instead, use

code:
<xsl:for-each select="*">

or

code:
<xsl:for-each select="item">
