Re: save me from the name spaces confusion

1.Q.What are the files i can include in a namespace

1.A. None. It is just a name.


2.Q .How can i create a namespace of my own and refer it in my programs
        ex: < .... xmlns:"http://subramanian.com/happyman/success.xsl">

2.A You almost did it above, if you had made it syntactically correct.
    by using  = instead of  :

   <abc xmlns="mailto:subramanian@xxxxxxxxxxxx";>this</abc>
    is the abc element in the namespace mailto:subramanian@xxxxxxxxxxxx
   there is no actual file anywhere that defines what other element may
    be in that namespace, You just put the element into the namespace
    by virtue of using some string in xmlns attribute.

3.Q. is <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"> a syntax
      for including xsls .
3.A It is a syntax for a very early (and now obsolete) draft of XSLT
    (before it has the name XSLT and was part of the XSL draft)
    It is the version used in IE5 by default, but since you say you
    are beginning you may as well use the standard XSLT language, which
    is in the namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
    Microsoft have a preview release which updates IE5 to use the
    standard namespace.

4.Q why the browser does not format a page if i include a xsl file as
        xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl ="local path" or "local ip address" and my
    own xsl

4.A Because if you put a different value for xmlns:xsl then you are
    saying that the xsl:stylesheet element is not in the XSL namespace
    but is in the namespace whose name is whichever URI you put.
    As it is not then XSL it will not be read by the XSL system of your
    browser (which must be IE5 I would guess as others don't have an
    embedded XSL system at all)

5.Q what are the procedures i need to follow in order
    to include a custom made schema in an xml file ?

5.A It depends which schema language you want to use,
    In any case an XSL system won't use the schema (other than a DTD,
    which may be consulted to look up attribute defaults and id
    declarations)

Please don't do that. Sending HTML encoded mail is bad enough, but
If you must do it, at least put some generic font specifications in
so that it has some chance of working on other machines.
