[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: Best namespace attribute removal strategy?
 Hi, check out this http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200405/msg00962.html thread, it discusses very similar issue, also with few examples in it. In short, using xsl:copy is not the best way to copy attribubutes over, as it inserts namespaces related to the element being copied. Something like <xsl:template match="*[not(namespace-uri())] | xhtml:*"> <xsl:element name="{local-name(.)}"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> may work better for you. (This was suggested to me by G. Ken Holman in the thread I refered to above, and workes great) Hope this helps a bit, Mayo Jordanov On Sun, 2004-06-20 at 23:39, Max Romantschuk wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to the list and also somewhat of an XSLT neophyte, so please > bear with me as I lay out a question you no doubt have encountered before... > > I am developing a simple content management system for my own needs.
