xsl xmlns question

Post by **thomasa** » Thu Nov 25, 2010 6:32 pm

Hi!

I'm using oxygen to convert xml to xhtml. In the process I get an xmlns attribute in some of the resulting xhtml tags -- like this:

<xmltag>Heading</xmltag>

becomes

<h1 xmlns:"">Heading<h1>

xsl says: <xsl:template match="xmltag"><h1><xsl:value-of select="."/></h1></xsl:template>

How to get rid of the xmlns:""?

Sorry, that would be <h1 xmlns:"">Heading</h1> of course... /Thomas

Hello,

Are you sure it's not really xmlns="" ? xmlns:"" seems unlikely, it's not even XML well formed.

The problem is namespace related. You probably have an element in the stylehseet that specifies the XHTML namespace.
e.g.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

But then subsequent elements don't have the namespace specified.
If all the elements from the output are from the same namespace as is the case for XHTML you can either specify the namespace for each of them(which is a burden) or add add the default namespace declaration:
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" to the stylesheet root: <xsl: stylesheet.

Regards,
Adrian

Hmm... did some typing errors in my post. You're right, it is xmlns="".

Removed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" in the <html> tag and put it in the <xsl:stylesheet instead.

Now everything is fine! Thanks a lot for helping!
