Hi, Dave,

For me, it would be something on the order of "template not matching" or 
"template not being reached".

FWIW

As Wendell pointed out; this is a more recent 'top ten' question.
I'm stuck trying to find a title for this question, that would
mean anything to a reader with this problem.


If you have been stuck with namespace processing, would you
suggest something please?

I can see that its difficult, especially when you have
no idea that namespaces are causing the problem.

The problem is compounded since with default templates
there is output.

Can't find root element?
Template not being instantiated?
....
 what would you go looking for?

Suggestions most welcome.

    namespace FAQ number 1:
 
    <Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" ...
       ...
      <Worksheet
 
    so that is Workbook and Worksheet in  namespace 
    urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet
 
    and this
 
    <xsl:for-each select="Workbook/Worksheet
 
    selects so that is Workbook and Worksheet in  no-namespace
 
    so selects nothing in this case.
 
    You want
 
    xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" on 
    your xsl:stylseheet then
 
 
 
    <xsl:for-each select="x:Workbook/x:Worksheet
 
    etc so that you select elements from this namespace.
