Hi Folks, I would like to see if someone has an elegant solution to this problem: Suppose that my stylesheet template is situated at an element with a namespace qualifier, e.g., <bk:Book> I would like to find the element which declared the bk: namespace qualifier. Further, I want the first ancestor element that declared bk: For example, with this document: <bk:BookStore xmlns:bk="http://www.amazon.com"> <bk:Category xmlns:bk="http://www.book-category.com"> <bk:Book> The XPath expression should give me the bk:Category element. Here's my attempt (which didn't work): <xsl:variable name="ns-elmt" select="ancestor::*[name(@.)='xmlns:bk'][1]"/> This yielded no value for ns-elmt. Any ideas? /Roger XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
