Re: [xsl] find the name of the child after root

[henry human <henry_human@xxxxxxxx>]

That works with the exclude-result-prefixes avoiding the namespace, thanks,
 but now I face following:
Originally I wanted o use the name of the root or
the next child to loop over in a for-each as bellow
 
<xsl:for-each
select="/node()[1]/name()"> 
/* or this notation <xsl:for-each
select="/*[1]/local-name()"/>*/ 
  
 
which does not work. I get no elments
from the xml tree because the xpath does not works . I cant work with the XML
for example say:
    <xsl:variable name="Root">
             
            <xsl:value-of select="/*[1]/local-name()"/>
             
        </xsl:variable> 
<xsl:for-each select="$Root"> 
 
<Version>
<xsl:value-of select="ChildElment1/ChildElement2/getVersion"></Version>
</xsl:for-each>
The output is:
<Version/> 
  
 
but following works
<xsl:for-each select="RootElement">  
<Version><xsl:value-of
select="ChildElement1/ChildElement2/getVersion"></Version>
</xsl:for-each>
Output: 
<Version>1.26</Version>

Root is a
bad name (since in xpath the root is / which is the parent of 
the element
that you want) you want /*[1] (It is much better to use * 
rather than node()
here otherwise a comment or processing instruction 
will break your code.)
Don't use a variable with content as that generates a temporary tree, 
you
just want a string so use

<xsl:variable name="Root" select="/*[1]/name()"/>

That is the standard behaviour for literal result
elements, the declared 
namespace is in scope. You can use    
exclude-result-prefixes

on your xsl:stylesheet element to stop this.
