 Change your XSL to: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:mynamespace="blah.blah.blah" version="1.0" > <xsl:template match="mynamespace:book"> <body> <xsl:value-of select="@category"/><br/> <xsl:value-of select="mynamespace:title"/> </body> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Basically, I have made two changes: a.) Added "blah.blah.blah" namespace to <xsl:stylesheet declaration, and b.) XPath expressions prefixed with namespace (see how match and select attribute values are namespace prefixed.) That's the way the XSLT processor works.
