I have a question with XSL, that is:

I use such a XSL file(temsis.xsl):
--------------------------------------------------------
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns="http://www.mysite.com/Temsis";
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <html> <head/>
   <body >
    <xsl:apply-templates select="Temsis"/>

Note that an unprefixed name in XPath *DOES NOT* use the default namespace ... it assumes an unprefixed name is *ONLY* in no namespace.


Use something like:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:t="http://www.mysite.com/Temsis";
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <html> <head/>
   <body >
    <xsl:apply-templates select="t:Temsis"/>

This way your XPath expression is selecting a name in a namespace-vocabulary.

Remember that the prefix used in your stylesheet bears no relationship to the prefix used in your source files ... it need only be internally consistent in the XML file in which it is used.

I hope this helps.
