Re: Fwd: trouble with namespaces

Xpaths like attribute names do not use the default namespace binding:
unprefixed QNames in XPath always refer to elements or attributes in no
namespace.

  <xsl:template match="mynms:form_textarea">
    <b>SIMONHELLO</b>
  </xsl:template>

Hi, I think this might be a problem with my XSLT rather than axkit. Help?

Subject: trouble with namespaces

I'm having trouble getting namespaces to work in a pipeline with PIs. it works in a test but doesn't work with these files. I have a largish xslt rng2mid.xsl that contains this amongst many other templates:

  <xsl:template match="text">
    <form_textarea xmlns="mynms">
      FOOBAR
    </form_textarea>
  </xsl:template>

and then the next stylesheet (mid2html.xsl) in the pipeline is this:

-------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="1.0"
  >

  <xsl:template match="form_textarea" xmlns="mynms">
    <b>SIMONHELLO</b>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
-------------------------------------------------

I've got axtrace on, and FOOBAR gets placed into the output, but never gets transformed into SIMONHELLO. What's going on?
