What you need to know is, does the XSL processor in question support the syntax declared by the namespace? I could develop my own "XSL" syntax (like Microsoft did) and declare my own namespace so that others could write processors for it, or so that one that I write supports it. If you use the namespace that Internet Explorer uses when you use a processor that supports the current draft, it won't work. That is somewhat the concept of a unique resource identifier (URI). This is different than a Uniform Resource Locator (or is it Location?), or URL, which actually locates a domain name and attempts to access it using http. The main difference is that a URI doesn't necessarily point to any physical location on the network, but is merely a means to uniquely identify something. If you look at a MS Office 2000 document saved as HTML, you'll see a bunch of namespaces, each of which supports a schema or syntax used by Office to make it possible to render and save a document and retain the objects Office uses. A good way to grasp the way namespaces are used is to go look at the Office HTML/XML documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/isapi/msdnlib.idc?theURL=/library/officedev/offhtm l9/concepts/default.htm. You'll also see why Microsoft has been such a strong proponent of namespaces (for better or worse). Namespaces can seem vexing, but they're really pretty easy to understand once you "get" it. regards Chuck White Advance Recruitment Advertising, Inc. chuck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.advancerecruitment.com ---------- >From: Minita Jha <jha@xxxxxxxxxxx> >To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl.................> question >Date: Thu, Aug 5, 1999, 8:11 AM > >Does the proper execution of the styleseet depend on the specified url being up >and running?
