Thanks a lot Lars. That seems to have done the trick.
I have been having a real tough with incorporating
the namespace but this worked beautifully! Really
appreciate it.

In order to change the namespace during the
transform, you
can use an identity transform, modified to change
the namespace
of each element. E.g.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*" priority="3">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}"
namespace="Something">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
HTH,

Subject: [xsl] Adding namespace to an XML through
XSL
Hi there -
I am having problems adding a namespace using an
xsl
to an xml with no namespaces.
My sample xml looks like this
<MainElement>
<Element1>
<Element2>
<Element3>
:
:
</Element3>
</Element2>
</Element1>
</MainElement>
And I want to add a namespace to the <MainElement
xmlns="Something"> without any prefix.
I am doing the following in my xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns="Something">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="MainElement">
<MainElement xmlns="Something">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</MainElement>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But the problem is that <Element1> looks like this
<Element1 xmlns="">
Any ideas on how to get round this? I am not
exactly
sure how to use "xsl:namespace-alias" for this or
whether that will help?
Thanks
Kanthi
