Re: Cannot Access Attribute with colon

2002-10-16 07:10:25
Hi Karen,

I need to access the values of the xlink:show and xlink:href
attributes, unfortunately using '@xlink:show' does not work, (ie
<xsl:value-of select="@xlink:show"/>) it doesnt seem to like the
colon ' :'

My guess would be that you haven't declared the 'xlink' prefix within
your stylesheet. A name like xlink:show is a qualified name, with a
prefix ('xlink') and a local part ('show'). In order to resolve the
qualified name, the XSLT processor needs to be able to tell what
namespace the prefix 'xlink' is referring to, so it needs to have a
namespace declaration in scope.

Try adding a namespace declaration for the 'xlink' prefix to the
<xsl:stylesheet> element, as follows:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
...
</xsl:stylesheet>

and the processor should stop complaining about the ':'.

Cheers,

Jeni
