How to copy a parent Tag/Attributes only...

[MDean]

Hi All,

I am conditionally copying sections of an xml document, as is, to another xml document, depending on a parameter passed into the XSLT. Specifically, my source document looks like this:
<SCREEN>
<PANEL NAME=&quot;mainPanel&quot;>
<TABBEDPANE NAME=&quot;tabbedPane&quot;>
<PANEL NAME=&quot;generalPanel&quot;>
.......
</PANEL>
<PANEL NAME=&quot;userPanel&quot;>
.......
</PANEL>
<PANEL NAME=&quot;rightsPanel&quot;>
.......
</PANEL>
</TABBEDPANE>
</PANEL>
</SCREEN>
I have been able to get my conditions to work, which will copy the respective child (PANEL) elements depending on my parameter. What I haven't been able to get to work is the XSL that would ONLY copy the <PANEL NAME=&quot;mainPanel&quot;> and the <TABBEDPANE NAME=&quot;tabbedPane&quot;> tags. I was able to find some code which at least outputs the 2 tags, however it treats them as empty tags and places the &quot;/>&quot; at the end of each. So I end up with code like the following:
<PANEL NAME=&quot;mainPanel&quot;/>
<TABBEDPANE NAME=&quot;tabbedPane&quot;/>
<PANEL NAME=&quot;generalPanel&quot;>
......
</PANEL>
</TABBEDPANE>
</PANEL>

Instead of the desired:
<PANEL NAME=&quot;mainPanel&quot;>
<TABBEDPANE NAME=&quot;tabbedPane&quot;>
<PANEL NAME=&quot;generalPanel&quot;>
......
</PANEL>
</TABBEDPANE>
</PANEL>

Thanks for any help!
