Subject: Error creating XSLT from HTML.
Author: B D

I have an XML file that I have generated a DTD with Stylus Studio. When I point the XML file to the DTD as an external DTD, the parsers tell me that it is a valid XML and SS tells me that its well formed. I close the XML file.

For my next step, I use the Document Wizard to create a XSLT from HTML.

The stylesheet statement looks like this:

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

When I select the XML file (same as the one above) to use WYSIWYG, SS modifies the above statement to look like this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xml="undefined_uri0" exclude-result-prefixes="xml">

From this point on when I try to modify via or even switch back to the WYSIWYG, I get the following error:

"XML2HTML WYSIWYG encounter an error:

The prefix 'xml' cannot be bound to any namespace other than its usual namespace.
URL: file:///c:/src/xsl/myfile.xsl
Line: 2
Col: 137"

Any suggestions, pointers, hints, tips, etc?

WYSIWYG is based on Internet Explorer.
We send the XSLT over into the IE DOM, and sometimes, IE
sends it back with strange modifications.

Remove xmlns:xml="undefined_uri0" exclude-result-prefixes="xml"
from your XSLT and you should be okay. (This is an assumption;
not seeing all of your XSLT makes it hard to know for sure, but
try this first.)

Thanks Tony.

I have tried deleting it and saving the file.

But if I switch back to WYSIWYG and make a modification, it is reinserted.

This problem basically makes WYSIWYG feature useless for me if I have keep deleting these attributes.

Unfortunately, we agree.

WYSIWYG is going away, because we can't control what happens inside
of IE and it changes version by version.

Starting in Stylus Studio 2007, the new XML Report tool is more useful
in that it lets you generate XSLT 1, XSLT 2 or XQuery, and the final
output can be HTML+CSS or XSL:FO-->PDF.

And in Stylus Studio 2007 Release 2, due shortly, it will have even
greater capabilities.
