RE: [xsl] badly need xsl help(prob with accessing child nodes in the script)

["Murali Korrapati" <murali.korrapati@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,
  Lets try to forget everything that started b'cos of me. We are here to help each other, not to fight.
Try to be as friendly as possible and help each other.

I tried the namespace(you can see that in my modified code in init() function) as Michael Kay said. But I have no luck.
This is what I am exactly doing and want to do. Can anybody give any suggestions? 

Thanks.

xml:

<data xmlns="urn:schemas.abcd-com:layers">
	<Rpt_Inven xmlns="urn:schemas.abcd-com:RepInven" >
		<Inven>
			<EffectiveDate>2003-05-30</EffectiveDate>
		</Inven>
		<Inven>
			<EffectiveDate>2003-07-30</EffectiveDate>
		</Inven>
	</Rpt_Inven>
	<RegionalOptions xmlns="urn:schemas.abcd-com:Static">
		<Date>
			<Calendar>
			<TwoDigitYear>79</TwoDigitYear>
			</Calendar>
			<Separator>/</Separator>
			<ShortFormat>3</ShortFormat>
		</Date>
		<Currency>
			<DecimalSymbol>.</DecimalSymbol>
			<GroupingSymbol>,</GroupingSymbol>
			<DigitGrouping>2</DigitGrouping>
		</Currency>
		<Locale>1033</Locale>
	</RegionalOptions>
</data>

    With this xml and xsl, I am expecting my out some thing like

<_Ctrl xmlns="" xmlns:lay="urn:schemas.abcd-com:layers"
xmlns:rep="urn:schemas.abcd-com:RepInven"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:scrdt="urn:schemas.abcd-com:datatypes" 
xmlns:stat="urn:schemas.abcd-com:Static">
	<_Item>
		05/30/2003
	</_Item>
	<_Item>
		07/30/2003
	</_Item>
</_Ctrl>

   But it is always producing something like 

   <_Ctrl xmlns="" xmlns:lay="urn:schemas.abcd-com:layers"
xmlns:rep="urn:schemas.abcd-com:RepInven"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:scrdt="urn:schemas.abcd-com:datatypes" 
xmlns:stat="urn:schemas.abcd-com:Static">
	<_Item>
		2003-05-30
	</_Item>
	<_Item>
		2003-07-30
	</_Item>
</_Ctrl>


      I think this b'cos I am not able to get access to the <Date/> node
in the script function. And whenever I say RegOpts(i).firstChild , I am
getting the result I want. 

Any ideas about. I am very desperate for this.

thanks,

~Mur
