Hi,
When you specify a NameTest in XPath 1.0 using an element name without a prefix then that means the element from no namespace. If you want to specify elements from a namespace then you need to use a prefix mapped to that namespace. In XSLT 2.0 you can use the xpath-default-namespace attribute to specify the namespace to be used for names without a prefix used in XPath 2.0 expressions.
If you want your stylesheet to ignore the namespace of the elements then use something like
in your XPath expressions.

in your XPath expressions.

I have an XML document with a default namespace indicated at the root. Something like this:
<MyRoot xmlns="http://www.mysite.com"> <!-- a lotta XML in here --> </MyRoot>
My XSLT to parse the XML does not work as expected because of the default namespace, i.e. when I remove the namespace, everyting works as expected. All XPATH statements find their intended values. Since I don't have control over the source XML and the included default namespace, what should I do to my XSLT so that my XPATH expressions find their intended values?
BTW: I'm using the XERCES parser.
Thanks,
Kevin
