I have this XML:

<menuitem>

	<title>Refresh</title>

	<img>/img/refresh32.png</img>

	<type>exec</type>

	<display_seq>11</display_seq>

	<id>refresh</id>

</menuitem>

<menuitem>

	<title>Logout</title>

	<img>/img/logout32.png</img>

	<type>exec</type>

	<display_seq>12</display_seq>

	<id>logout</id>

</menuitem>

I do an xpath selection in javascript:

var node = xml.selectSingleNode("//menuitem[id=reports]")

and then transform this node with an XSL template:

<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0'	xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>

<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="menuitem"> 

<div class="startmenuitem">

and the current node that matches the single template in this XSL is node:

	<menuitem>

		<title>Query Tools</title>

		<type>exec</type>

		<img>/img/table_view32.png</img>

		<display_seq>7</display_seq>

		<id>reports_pivot</id>

	</menuitem>

It's as if the passed in node is treated as a #document node and the default template is firing:

<xsl:template match="/">

	<xsl:apply-templates />

</xsl:template>

If I change the condition on my template from 'menuitem' to '/', then the output of the XSL is what I am expecting. Shouldn't the template matching 'menuitem' actually match the root element passed into the transformation?
