[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Attributes and namespaces
I'm confused about how namespaces should be applied to attributes. Here
are two questions:
1)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- all elements here are explicitly in the HTML namespace -->
<html:html xmlns:html='http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40'>
<html:head><html:title>Frobnostication</html:title></html:head>
<html:body><html:p>Moved to
<html:a href='http://frob.com'>here.</html:a></html:p></html:body>
</html:html>
To which namespace does the "href" attribute in the "html:a" tag
belong? To the same one as its parent? "html:"?
2)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc xmlns="mydefault">
<mytag myatt="blah"/>
</doc>
To which namespace does the "myatt" attribute belong? The spec says
that the default namespace doesn't apply, however from question 1, we
can infer that attributes take on the namespace of their parents. I'm
assuming, though, that "myatt" belongs to no namespace. What shall I
assume here?
