RE: [xsl] Match prefix

["Victor Weike Xin (Houston)" <Weike.Xin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your responce.
The problem was found just as you said.
The problem is that Project namespace prefix is not defined/refered to
either in the dtd or in the xml file.
Thanks

Victor

A prefix is an abbreviation that makes it easier to refer to a namespace. If
an XML document starts like this

  <whatever xmlns:blue="http://www.snee.com/namespace1";
            xmlns:red="http://www.snee.com/namespace1";>

then an XML processor should treat <blue:foo/> and <red:foo/> within that
whatever element the same way, because they're both foo elements from the
same namespace. So, it's not about matching elements with prefixes, but
about matching elements from particular namespaces.

There's more on this at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/05/02/trxml.html, an
XML.com column I did on the topic (which is also an excerpt from my book).
