Is it possible to post both the input and stylesheet document?

OK.
I switched the switches(i'm embarrased to have posted that code - it was an
aborted fix attempt) but still am getting the same results.

I wonder, right now I'm declaring the xmlns:alex as an attribute of
xml:stylesheet, like so:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:alex="result.xsl"  version="1.0">

If i remove the xmlns:alex= part xalan gives me the following error:
XSLT: Missing namespace URI for specified prefix

and if I use the following url as in
xmlns:alex="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; i get this error:
XSLT: Unknown XSL element: stylesheet

hmmm.......
The concept seems straightforward to me but its just not working.  Is it
possible that some other section of my code could be the culprit?
Thanks again,
Alex

I think this is what you need.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>   <!-- change here -->
<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="alex" result-prefix="xsl"/> <!--
change here -->
<xsl:output method="xml"/> <!-- change here -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<alex:stylesheet version="1.0">

notice that result-prefix attrib is xsl which is linked to
"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

....

Hello List,

Thanks for all your help.  There's something weird going on though in my
attempt to implement your suggestions.
Here is my namespace aliasing code...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:alex=
"alex-namespace" >
<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="xsl" result-prefix="alex"/>
<xsl:output method="xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<alex:stylesheet version="1.0">

The xml is processed correctly and everything seems to work properly
except....In the output alex is not replaced with xsl.

hmmmmm.....
Any more suggestions?
Thanks again!
Alex

Doh.

OK, the preferred method is to use namespace-alias:

<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="simon" result-prefix="xsl"/>

and then your xsl looks like this

<xsl:template match="/">
<simon:template match="whatever">....

much cleaner.
