[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: xsl/xml
 Simon, in your XML file you've used a default namespace (a namespace without a prefix specified) on the top level element. That means that <country> and <member> elements are in the namespace associated with the URI "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/". Your XSLT file is looking for <country> and <member> elements that belong to no namespace. Specifying the namespace these elements will probably fix your problem. <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:a1="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <xsl:value-of select="a1::country/a1::member" /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> That said, "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/" is an exceedingly poor choice of namespace URI for your custom <country> and <member> element. I am sure that is not what you mean. Instead, leave the default namespace declaration out of the XML file entirely, it does not contain any HTML 4 elements.

I have narrowed it down the the namespace attribute in the XML file that's causing this problem. If i remove the Namespace attribute from the <country> element, it prints it out fine ps. this is a simplified version of what I am working on, and in my version, the namespace attribute of the root element cannot be removed. Is there anyway to get around thhis? TIA XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
