(If you are using 'literal result element as stylesheet' these are the same so ignore this bit). Its usual to put exclude-result-prefixes on the xsl:stylesheet - I don't think it should make a difference, but you might try it. My second guess is that you are using xsl:copy or xsl:copy-of. The problem is that these copy all the namespace nodes present. Remember you get a namespace node on an element for all namespaces declared on that element *or* any of its ancestors: they do not just appear where the actual declaration is. There are two ways round this that I know of: a) move the namespace declarations in the stylesheet or source document so they do not appear on the nodes you are copying (not always possible or practical) b) use xsl:element instead of xsl:copy (messy but it works) or xsl:copy-of (even messier). Or just live with it ;-) Regards, Trevor Nash -- Traditional training & distance learning, Consultancy by email Melvaig Software Engineering Limited voice: +44 (0) 1445 771 271 email: tcn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
