RE: obtaining details from a namespace

Dimitre / Don,

here is the start of my XSL:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
xmlns:NUIS3="http://www.norwich-union.co.uk" 
version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-
declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="NU">
	<xsl:call-template name="Add_Cover"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template  name="Add_Cover">

	<xsl:param name="Cover_Type"/>
	<xsl:param name="Action"/>


	<xsl:element name="DWL_COV_LIMITS_V">


		<xsl:apply-templates 
select="Home/Keys"/>

and so far this is the template:

<xsl:template match="Home/Keys">
		<xsl:attribute name="POLICY_ID">
			<xsl:value-of 
select="//NUIS3:DWELLING_TAB_V_KEYS/@NUIS3:POLICY_
ID"/>
		</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

Now when I run it I know it gets into the 
template since I get a POLICY_ID attribute 
created, but never a value.

My xml source is this:

<NU>
..............
<Home>
    <Keys>
        <NUIS3:DWELLING_TAB_V_KEYS 
NUIS3:POLICY_ID="AAJ9BDK86EHSPREM" 
NUIS3:INSURANCE_LINE_CD="HP" 
NUIS3:EFFECTIVE_DT="19-09-2000" 
NUIS3:DWELLING_NBR="1" NUIS3:HISTORY_VLD_NBR="0" 
NUIS3:QUOTE_SEQUENCE_NBR="0" NUIS3:CHECKSUM="" 
xmlns:NUIS3="urn:schemas-norwich-union:NUIS3"/>
        <DWELLING_CLIENT_V_KEYS 
xmlns:NUIS3="urn:schemas-norwich-union:NUIS3" 
NUIS3:POLICY_ID="" NUIS3:INSURANCE_LINE_CD="" 
NUIS3:EFFECTIVE_DT="" NUIS3:CLIENT_ID="" 
NUIS3:DCL_RLT_TYP_CD="" NUIS3:DWELLING_NBR="" 
NUIS3:HISTORY_VLD_NBR="" 
NUIS3:QUOTE_SEQUENCE_NBR="" NUIS3:CHECKSUM=""/>
        <CLIENT_ADDRESS_COMPOSITE_KEYS/>
    </Keys>
</Home></NU>

Hope this helps.

Regards
Bill Crawley
