obiwankenobi Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 hello everyonemore than a problem this is a question - for I've already fixed the problem in a "dirty" way, but I'd like to find out from which is generated.this is my xml<myroot xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.somethingcom/"><tag1>something</tag1><tag2><tag3>something'>http://www.somethingcom/"><tag1>something</tag1><tag2><tag3>something else</tag3><tag3>something else more</tag3></tag2></myroot>and here's the xsl<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:template match="/"><html><body><p>Tag One: <xsl:value-of select="//tag1"></p><xsl:for-each select="/myroot/tag2/*"><p>middle tags: <xsl:value-of select="tag3"/></p></xsl:for-each></body></html></xsl:template>when I try to transform it, if there's the namespace attribute (xmlns="http://www.somethingcom/") no matter what I do, no tag is read (even if I try to reach the tag by the absolute xpath "//tag1"). If I remove the attribute "xmlns", it works perfectly.Can anyone explain me what I'm supposed to do to have it be read even with that atttribute?Thanks bunchJedi MasterObi-Wan KenobiMay the Force be with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooberry Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I don't know too much about namespaces and their effects on XSL,but what I have found is that it is more successful to create a template for each element and then have the root template apply them all:<xsl:template match="/"><html><body><xsl:apply-templates /></body></html></xsl:template><xsl:template match="tag1"><p>Tag One: <xsl:value-of select="tag1"><p></xsl:template><xsl:template match="tag3"><p>middle tags: <xsl:value-of select="tag3"/></p></xsl:template>This way, you don't need to use the <xsl:for-each> because the template will apply every time it encounters an element called tag3.Give it a go and let me know if it helps.Dooberry.

obiwankenobi Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 It works now (blessed be templates!) but still the problem remains.What's wrong with namespaces? I saw that if I try to reach the nodes by the name() and node() functions, they work, but no absolute or relative paths are accepted.So, basically, the question is, how to deal with xmlns?thanks again dude, much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
