Subject: RE: [xsl] How do you handle namespace prefixes in attribute values in XSLT? From: "Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2002 10:26:35 -0000 |
The answer is to copy the namespace node from the source document to the result document. <xsl:template name="part"> <xsl:copy-of select="@element"/> <xsl:copy-of select="namespace::*[name() = substring-before(@element, ':')]"/> Or you could simply copy ALL namespace nodes: <xsl:copy-of select="namespace::*"/> Michael Kay Software AG home: Michael.H.Kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx work: Michael.Kay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Matt Seaborn > Sent: 05 December 2002 08:45 > To: 'XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' > Subject: [xsl] How do you handle namespace prefixes in > attribute values in XSLT? > > > Taking a wsdl file (only as an example, applies to any > namespaces xml file) which looks like this > > <?xml version="1.0"?> > <definitions name="StockQuote" > targetNamespace="http://example.com/stockquote.wsdl" > xmlns:xsd1="http://example.com/stockquote.xsd" > ... > <message name="GetLastTradePriceOutput"> > <part name="body" element="xsd1:TradePrice"/> > </message> > > and you wish to operate on it using XSLT.
