[xsl] How to declare a namespace

["frank Stein" <freeposte@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeni, many thanks to You for this wonderful answer below.
I'm using the Internet Explorer 5.0 with the msxml3 XSL parser
version patch.

I've followed your instructions and I've declared a couple of functions
within the msxsl:script element but I did not declare the 'msxsl' 
namespace(urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt) and my own 'foo' namespace.

While the interpretation the IE.5 outputs the following error :

"Reference to undeclared namespace prefix: 'msxsl'. Error processing 
resource 'file:///D:/Ovide/test.xsl'. Line 10, Position 66

<msxsl:SCRIPT language="javascript" implements-prefix="foo"><![CDATA[
-----------------------------------------------------------------^"

Could You please explain me how and where to declare these two namespaces ?

Thank-You again Jeni.

Ovide
