Re: xpath problem

Try to precede the element names in your query with *: (i.e
//*:Document, *:Information, *:Title)
(and I am never sure if you have to do it for attributes to).

If you want to use the real namespace, assuming you are working with
XSLT, you add the namespace declarations in the stylesheet tag (add
xmlns:site="http://limpens.com/site"), then you can add the namespace
to the query elements
(//site:Document, etc.)

Also, start with a simple query so that you can make sure it works, and
then work your way to the final query.

Raffaele,

how do I use a namespace in a query?

Probably because the document uses a namespace but your query doesn't.
