Subject: Re: [xsl] XPath - accessing nodes with a namespace with no prefix From: Philip Vallone <philip.vallone@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:21:41 -0500 |
Thanks Markus, (1) You are correct, that was a typo - This was just an example (2) adlnav is in another namespace, so that is not possible. I apologize for not being more clear. The example markup was a dumb-downed version. (3) It's possible to select a node by using local-name() in a predicate with a wild card e.g. //*[local-name()='title']. however, this may give me the wrong result. I wasn't sure if there was another way Thanks again, Phil On Dec 4, 2009, at 5:36 PM, Markus Flatscher wrote: > Philip, > > (1) Which element are you trying to access?
