You do not need to do anything at that location, "http:www.somthing.com/rule", But you need to tell XSLT processor where the <rule:something> comes from, otherwise XSLT processor couldn't recognize this element. That's why you need to declare it in the <xsl:stylesheet> element. In my understanding, An XSLT processor uses the namespace declaration to bind the prefix "rule" with the namespace "http:www.something.com/rule", and uses the namespace and local name "Choose" to locate the <Choose> element in source XML document. It doesn't use the prefix and local name such as "rule:Choose" to locate the element. If you do not declare namespace, then XSLT processor cannot resolve the prefix "rule", therefore it cannot recognoze the element "rule:Choose" in source document. That's why it complains "xmlns:rule not declared". Hope this makes sense to you.

But its worth giving it a try again. Does "http:www.somthing.com/rule" have any significance. I mean do I really need to have some thing at this location. I dont understand namespaces well I think. So probably I am not following what you are saying. Thanks, Abhi --- Xia Li <xli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > Did you declare the namespace for the prefix > "rule"?
