Hi Frank, > 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. [snip] > Could You please explain me how and where to declare these two namespaces ? You declare namespaces with namespace declarations, which are attributes of the form: xmlns:prefix="namespace-URI" So, for example, a namespace declaration for the MSXML namespace looks like: xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" You can give any prefix that you want (msxsl, ms, m or whatever) as long as you're not using that prefix for another namespace. The namespace URI is fixed, though - that's what the processor uses to identify whether a particular element/function is in a particular namespace. Your 'foo' namespace should be a URI that you can guarantee no one else will use, perhaps something like: xmlns:my="urn:freeposte@xxxxxxxxxxx:2001" It doesn't particularly matter what it is - a lot of people use URLs, but that can be a bit tricky if you don't have a personal domain name. You should place these namespace declarations on an element that contains *all* the places where you want to use that namespace declaration. Most often in XSLT stylesheets, this will be the xsl:stylesheet element because it contains everything. So your stylesheet will look something like: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:my="urn:freeposte@xxxxxxxxxxx:2001" extension-element-prefixes="msxsl" exclude-result-prefixes="my"> <msxsl:script language="javascript" implements-prefix="my"> ... </msxsl:script> ... </xsl:stylesheet> I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
