RE: alternative to namespace exmaple

2005-01-13 09:12:57


I found a very similar version of the following xml and xsl 
online. In this code namespaces are used in order to subtract 
the sums for us and them. My xml code is structured 
similarly, and was summing values for all of the xml. The xsl 
now needs to subtract in a similar way to this example. Is this the 
best way to do it? By assigning namespaces to the xml tags? 
Or is there a better alternative?

Well, it's certainly one way of doing it and there's nothing wrong with
using namespaces in that way.  However, if you have control over the
source why not use the elements position within the hierarchy to
indicate which organisation:

<us>
  <item>
        <value>1000</value>
  </item>
</us>

<them>
  <item>
        <value>5000</value>
  </item>
</them>

Cheers
