Subject: Re: [xsl] Differing behavior of Xalan and Saxon with namespaces.Who's right? From: "Roger L. Costello" <costello@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 15:26:33 -0500 |
Thanks Niko. I gave your suggestion a try - I used a literal result element, as shown here: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fit="http://www.keeping-fit.org" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="xml"/> <xsl:template match="FitnessCenter"> <FitnessCenter> <xsl:apply-templates/> </FitnessCenter> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:element name="{name(.)}"> <xsl:for-each select="@*"> <xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> However, I got the same result - Xalan carried the namespace declaration over, and Saxon did not. /Roger Niko Matsakis wrote: > > > Both Xalan and Saxon are correct.
