<xsl:for-each> iterates over phantome nodes.

           Summary: <xsl:for-each> iterates over phantome nodes.
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.4Dx
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Xalan
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: crowley_mark@yahoo.com


The XSL...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="utf-8"/>

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

<xsl:template match="parent">
	<xsl:for-each select="child::node()">
name is <xsl:value-of select="name()"/> text is <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Used with the XML...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<parent>
	<a>1</a>
	<b>2</b>
	<c>3</c>
	<d>4</d>
	<e>5</e>
</parent>

generates...

name is  text is 
name is a text is 1
name is  text is 
name is b text is 2
name is  text is 
name is c text is 3
name is  text is 
name is d text is 4
name is  text is 
name is e text is 5
name is  text is 

Each *real* node is intersperced with two *phantom* empty nodes.

Will attempt to look into this myself, just wondering if anyone has come across 
this.

Thanks in advance.

 I don't see any bug here: these are "\n" nodes. You can (i) get rid of new 
lines in your XML, (ii) use xsl:strip-space or (iii) use child::* to filter 
out text nodes.

 Hope this helps.
