Two issues with this solution.

1. Inserting the apply-templates select="dao" statement into component-did-core solves the problem of invoking the dao template but it leaves the image hanging in the middle of a <table> but outside any <td>. I wonder if this will cause a positioning problem for other images that are not full screen, problems that are not apparent in this case.

2. I don't understand the suggestion to reposition the dao template within eadcbs6. Is it simply a matter of personal preference? I see no XSL reasons for preferring one location over another and it works well where it is. Am I missing something?

Linda: At line 100 in dsc15.xsl (this is in the named template section
<xsl:template name="component-did-core">) find the following line:

<xsl:apply-templates select="physdesc"/>

Insert this line after that:

<xsl:apply-templates select="dao"/>

Then, in eadcbs6.xsl, move the dao template clear to the bottom of the
stylesheet, just before the <xsl:include element> and closing
<xsl:stylesheet> element:

<xsl:template match="dao[@show='new']">
<img src="{@href}">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</img>
</xsl:template>
<!--Insert the address for the dsc stylesheet of your choice here.-->
<xsl:include href="dsc15.xsl"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

There are a number of other points I would make about your <dao>
attributes and what you are intending to do, but this will at least get
things working for you.
