Re: Weird problem with doc()

That worked, thanks so much!

I am overriding code that I don't know much about, but it is converting and
merging XHTML, and indeed, at the top the stylesheet I'm overriding it has
this attribute:

xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

So I pulled down from my shelf the big fat book by Mr. Kay[1] and looked up
this attribute. Page 480 has a nice description of this problem and a fix. So
I changed to the null namespace on my xsl:message element like this and now
XPath will read successfully from my non-namespaced external file:

 FTITLE:

(if that doesn't come through because of angle brackets, here it is without
them:)
xsl:message xpath-default-namespace="" FTITLE:B  xsl:value-of
select="$testxml//ishfield[@name='FTITLE']" /B  /xsl:message

Thanks very much!

So check for an xpath-default-namespace declaration, which would stop the code
working on no-namespace input.
