first off, i'm a total newbie at this XSL stuff so excuse any wrong
usage of terminology or whatever else.

i have a XSL to transform a Document such that all "text" nodes will
have a "SPAN" inserted around it. the XSL is given below:

<xsl:transform version="1.1"
xmlnssl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xslutput method="xhtml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="text()" priority="2">
<span lx="" ly="" ux="" uy="">
<xsl:copy/>
</span>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

so basically, i parse a HTML page into a Document using nekoHTML and
then run that Document through this XSL. this is all accomplished in
Java (1.4.2_06) using the javax.xml.transform.Transformer class. the
code is something like this:

Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer(xslTrans);
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "latin1");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.CDATA_SEC TION_ELEMENTS,"options");
transformer.transform(input, output)

where input and output are Documents. this works pretty well on most
pages except a few gives it problems. for example,
http://www.netsol.com does not work. i get the following error:

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.w3c.dom.DOMException:

shed some light on this error? thank you very much.
