XSL Transformation 2

[grega]

I have an XML document of the form
[tt]
<ArrayOfSomething>
<Something>
<MyElement xmlns="

http://www.tempuri.org/>somevalue</MyElement>

</Something>
<Something>
<MyElement xmlns="

http://www.tempuri.org/>anothervalue</MyElement>

</Something>
</ArrayOfSomething>
[/tt]

and an XSL transformation of the form
[tt]
<xsl:template match="ArrayOfSomething">
<xsl:for-each select="Something">
<xsl:value-of select="MyElement" />
<xsl:text>statictext</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
[/tt]

When I run this transform all I'm getting is the statictext element - it doesn't seem to be picking up the MyElement element. I know this is to do with the xmlns attribute as when I remove it the transform works (I'm trying to address this separately - the source XML doc is the serialization of a complex type returned from a web service)

Any idea what expression (think it's xpath) I could use in the value-of element to pick up the element's value?

Any guidance appreciated.

Greg.

Greg,

You are correct about the namespace. Default namespaces create tricky problems, some of which I think will be addressed in XPath 2.0 specification.

How about [tt]select="*[local-name()=MyElement]"[/tt]? Perhaps that will do it...

Can declare the namespace in xsl with a name freely given to the default namespace of the set of elements. Then to match them, match them with fully-qualified name with such called namespace prefixed to them.
[tt]
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

[blue]xmlns:dfns="

http://www.tempuri.org/"

[/blue]>
<xsl:template match="ArrayOfSomething">
<xsl:for-each select="Something">
<xsl:value-of select="[blue]dfns:[/blue]MyElement" />
<xsl:text>statictext</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
[/tt]

Working now. Thanks.
