RE: how to select elements in a given namespace?

2003-03-17 13:42:43
  so what is the XPath expression to match, say, the
<last-name> elements
within this namespace?

  <xsl:stylesheet ...
      xmlns:auth="http://whatever.auth.org'>
  ...
     select="//auth:last-name"


But as mentioned above, there is no such node in your XML 
fragment. The <last-name> element is in no namespace, unless 
you've declared a default namespace somewhere.

Shouldn't this work then?

        //last-name

Or does it not recurse into children of namespace-prefixed nodes?

Thanks,
