Re: Templates aplied to namespaces

  I have an input document that looks like this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
  <ROOTELEMENT xmlns="http://www.somewhere.com/mynamespace">
   <ERRORCODE>0</ERRORCODE> 
   <BOOKLIST>


That is the same input document as this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<x:ROOTELEMENT xmlns:x="http://www.somewhere.com/mynamespace">
 <x:ERRORCODE>0</x:ERRORCODE> 
 <x:BOOKLIST>


That is, an XSLT engine sees the same input tree in either case.
It is probably simpler to think of the latter syntax rather than the
former when writing the stylesheet, even if you know all the actual
documents are in the first form.

so 

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

<xsl:template match="x:BOOKLIST">

...

<xsl:for-each select="x:ERRORCODE">
...
