Subject: Re: [xsl] XPath problem with namespace attribute From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2008 16:59:56 +0100 |
> Is there something something special about the "xmlns" attribute that > I don't know? yes. it is not an attribute to xpath, it is a namespace declaration. element and attribute names consist of two parts, a namespace name (a URI) and a local name, Both parts need to match. in xpath1 (and by default in xpath2) /One/Two/Three/Four/Five matches elements ONe Two etc in no-namepsace but your elements are in the namespace http://www.hailstone.org" so you need /h:One/h:Two/h:Three/h:Four/h:Five where h: is bound to "http://www.hailstone.org" either using your Xpath APi or in XSLt by having xmlns:h="http://www.hailstone.org" on an ancestor element.
