<P><FONT SIZE=2>thanks. the problem in applying a stylesheet to the sub tree</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>is that, i might not need the child elements as well. it would</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>be too much of overhead to loop through the content and detach</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the child elements. Also it should be able to specify till what</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>level i need nested children for XSLT.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I am thinking of creating a dummy Element which gets the actual</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>node and the number of the neting i need, in the contructor and </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>recursively loop till the number of nesting.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>i am not sure if this would create a problem though.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Saxon (<A HREF="http://saxon.sourceforge.net" TARGET="_blank">http://saxon.sourceforge.net</A>) can be up to 3 times faster than Xalan, </FONT>

</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>XSLT processes an entire document. So the only way to apply a stylesheet to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>only a part of a document is to detach that part and make it a standalone </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>document. You can then apply the stylesheet to this "small" document and </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>attach the result back to the original document.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hope this helps,</FONT>
