[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Matching nodes in the default namespace
 Here's the XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<!--catalog last updated 2000-11-01-->
<catalog xmlns="http://www.example.com/catalog/">
<book id="bk101">
<author>Some author</author>
<title>Some Title</title>
<genre>Some genre</genre>
<price>Some price</price>
<publish_date>Some date</publish_date>
<description>Some description</description>
</book>
</catalog>And here's test.xsl: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" > <xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<title>Book catalog</title>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Author</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Genre</th>
<th>Price</th>
<th>Pub Date</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template> <xsl:template match="catalog">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template><!-- Suppress individual children of <book>, and built-in processing of all text nodes --> <xsl:template match="author|title|genre|price|publish_date|description|text()"/> <xsl:template match="book">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="author"/></td>
<td><cite><xsl:value-of select="title"/></cite></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="genre"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="price"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="publish_date"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="description"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> What happens is that the match/select expressions locate *nothing* in the XML doc (so I get a result tree consisting of the table headers, but otherwise nothing else). If I take out the default namespace declaration in the <catalog> element, it works exactly as expected. Clearly, the match/select are attempting to match on the fully expanded node names (i.e. including namespace URI) in the source tree. What's the magic word that enables you to do a match/select on an element in an explicitly URI'd default namespace? P.S. Yes, I know there's no reason to use any namespace decl. at all in the doc, since its contents don't come from more than one namespace. The question remains, though -- how do you match on a null namespace prefix that's nonetheless associated with a namespace URI? ========================================================== John E.
