Right - I tried on my copy of xpathtester and could not
persuade it to
learn the namespace. Dimitre's tool works fine, though.
Sometimes I'm wondering if this "cleverness" of the tool was
really the
right decision -- one can get accustomed to being served and
could forget to
specify the namespace in his/her stylesheet.
While the Xpath Visualizer spoils the user in this, the main
purpose was to
allow as many features of XPath (and some of XSLT) to be made
available, as
possible. As we see in the example with xpathtester, the
other alternative
does not give the user the possibility to practice certain
types of XPath
expressions with namespaces.
My preference is to have the tool do the most desired thing
automatically but allow me to override it if I want. Could you do that?
The default behavior would be the same as it is now and there would be
some way to find out what the tool had done. Then, if I wanted to, I
could remove the namespace declaration(s) altogether or just change
it/them.
Feasible without too much hassle for you?
