As they should -- there's no "key" attribute in your xml document, that belongs to the no-name namespace. > C:\projects\temp>msxsl test.xml test.xsl > ■< ? x m l v e r s i o n = " 1 . 0 " e n c o d i n g = " U > T F - > 1 6 " ? > > C:\projects\temp>saxon test.xml test.xsl > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> > > If I substitute @src:key, then I get an error for an > undeclared namespace. Yes, because you haven't declared the "/db/data/jobs/smtp" namespace in your stylesheet. > Dmitri's XPath visualiser finds the node just fine > using the @src:key syntax, but not using the @key > syntax. The Xpath Visualizer uses a stylesheet, into which it dynamically copies the namespace definitions from the source xml document. The difference b/n the XPath Visualizer's stylesheet and yours is that the former has a definition for the namespace and your stylesheet does not have such a definition. > How can I select the value of the src:key attribute > correctly? Define the namespace in your stylesheet, then select the real attribute name -- properly prefixed. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
