FAQ,
I'm trying to transform an XHTML document whose root node looks like
this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>
None of my templates match, and it's because of the default namespace
attribute.
No. It's because your node tests are not what you meant them to be. See
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath.html#node-tests>:
"A QName in the node test is expanded into an expanded-name using the
namespace declarations from the expression context. This is the same way
expansion is done for element type names in start and end-tags except that the
default namespace declared with xmlns is not used: if the QName does not have a
prefix, then the namespace URI is null--".
What do I need to do to fix my stylesheet?
Add namespace declaration for the XHTML namespace with a prefix, e.g.
xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
then write your patterns and expressions using it
<xsl:template match="h:html">
Cheers,
Jarno
