Is this xalan specific? Completely the opposite. The namespace URI 'http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' is how an XSLT processor recognises XSLT instructions. If you use a different namespace for XSLT instructions, then the processor won't recognise them, and instead think you are using a 'literal result element as stylesheet' or 'simplified' stylesheet (which is why it's expecting an xsl:version attribute, something that's mandatory on a simplified stylesheet). > My code looks like this > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <alex:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.alex.com" > xmlns:larry="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> > <alex:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="alex" result-prefix="xsl"/> Really?!? You haven't defined the 'alex' prefix anywhere in that code, so I expect that your XSLT processor would immediately object to it. I think you probably mean: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:alex="http://www.alex.com" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="alex" result-prefix="xsl" /> ... stylesheet that creates XSLT instructions in the 'alex' namespace ... </xsl:stylesheet> Or: <alex:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.alex.com" xmlns:alex="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <alex:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="xsl" result-prefix="alex" /> ... stylesheet that creates XSLT instructions in the 'xsl' namespace ... </alex:stylesheet> I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
