Having problems with transformation

[weibster]

I'm trying to transform from an xml doc to another xml doc using xsl. For examplexml file:<c><aa><a><nameid>123</nameid><dob>2005-10-10</dob></a></aa><bb><b><nameid>123</nameid><address>blah</address></b></bb></c>xsl file:<?xml version="1.0"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:template match="/"><xsl:for-each select="/c"><aa><a><xsl:copy-of select="aa/a/nameid"/><xsl:copy-of select="aa/a/dob"/><xsl:copy-of select="bb/b/nameid"/><xsl:copy-of select="bb/b/address"/></a></aa></xsl:for-each></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>Now the above xml and xsl combination works. However, when the xml file has a tag with xmlns like the one below, it doesn't work anymore<c xmlns="aaa"><aa><a><nameid>123</nameid><dob>2005-10-10</dob></a></aa><bb><b><nameid>123</nameid><address>blah</address></b></bb></c>Does anyone have any ideas why?Thanks

Am I the only person who has ever ran into something like this?

Sure you're not...XPath is sencetive to a namespace, that's all.If you change

/c

to

/c{aaa}

where the contents of the parenthesis is the namespace URI, it will work. If you want to select that element regardless of it's namespace, use

/*[local-name()='c']
