RE: Namespace problem

Hey Eric,

You probably didn't declare the xml doc's default namespace within your
xslt(?).

this works:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 	version="1.0" 
			xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
			xmlns:rogain="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/">
	
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:copy-of select="//rogain:item"/>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Subject:  Namespace problem


I'm trying to apply a simple transformation to the file below, and for some
reason I'm unable to get any nodes returned.  I think it may be a namespace
issue.  I'm totally stumped, and losing hair.

apply this XPath:  //item

should return a nodeset of items


the XML:



<?xml version="1.0"?>

I'm using MSXML 4.0 parser.
