RE: [xsl] Ignoring Child Nodes using XPath

["Ciaran Byrne" <ciaran dot byrne at 3tl dot com>]

Sorry,
	I should have mentioned the fact that I'm not using the
XPath Query in an XSL stylesheet but rather to select the
node in MSXML i.e. dom.selectsinglenode("XPath Query").

I know I could concat the element together by getting the element
name and attributes but I thought there might have been a
more efficient solution using an XPath Query.

There are many ways of ignoring the child nodes, in fact they will always be
ignored unless you specifically do something to access them.

Try
<xsl:template match="p">
  <xsl:copy/>
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
</xsl:template>
