Hello,
I'm doing transformations to some XHTML documents. Basically I need to only
remove a few attributes and elements from them and leave the document largely
intact beyond that.
I'm having problems navigating to the html elment and other elements when I
leave the Doctype and namespace at the top of the xhtml doc. I assume I'm
missing something in my xpath syntax but for the life of me I can't figure out
what.
Here's essentially my template
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//html"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//head"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="html">
<!-- do stuff here -->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="head">
<!-- do stuff here -->
</xsl:template>
Transforming this document doesn't work with the above ( it never selects my
html head templates )
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head><title>page title</title></head>
<body>
page body<br />
</body>
</html>
Transforming this document works as expected
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html>
<head><title>page title</title></head>
<body>
page body<br />
</body>
</html>
It's my understanding that the root element in each document is still html yes?
p.s.
I've been looking for some kind of XPATH tool that will let me see how a
document tree is represented in XPATH syntax. If anyone knows of such a tool
could you post a link?
Thanks
Tyrone
