Hi,

I have a SOAP document that is being returned back to me that I want to use XSLT to format for display on my web page. I am getting the SOAP content from a 3rd party and don't have control over it. Here is a snippet of the SOAP xml:

<soap:envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope">
 <soap:body>
  <eraRequest xmlns="http://www.somewhere.com/era">
    <uri>data</uri>
    <parameters>
      <data>4</data>
    </parameters>
  </eraRequest>
 </soap:body>
</soap:envelope>

I am using this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> root <xsl:apply-templates select="//parameters"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="parameters"> parameters <xsl:apply-templates select="//data"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="data"> data: <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

Here are my questions:

1st) The XSLT never finds anything below root. If I specify a prefix in the eraRequest xmlns section then everything works correctly. Is there a way to write the XSLT so that it doesn't need the prefix to local the <data>?

2nd) is the statement <eraRequest xmlns="http://www.somewhere.com/era"> in the xml legal? do you not have to put a prefix with the name space?
