Re: [xsl] find the name of the child after root

That works with the exclude-result-prefixes avoiding the namespace, thanks, 
 but now I face following:
Originally I wanted o use the name of the root or the next child to loop over 
in a for-each as bellow
 
<xsl:for-each select="/node()[1]/name()"> 
/* or this notation <xsl:for-each select="/*[1]/local-name()"/>*/ 
  
 
which does not work. I get no elments from the xml tree because the xpath does 
not works . I cant work with the XML for example say:
    <xsl:variable name="Root">
             
             <xsl:value-of select="/*[1]/local-name()"/>
             
        </xsl:variable> 
<xsl:for-each select="$Root"> 
 
<Version> <xsl:value-of 
select="ChildElment1/ChildElement2/getVersion"></Version> 
</xsl:for-each>
The output is:
<Version/> 
  
 
but following works
<xsl:for-each select="RootElement">  
<Version><xsl:value-of 
select="ChildElement1/ChildElement2/getVersion"></Version>
</xsl:for-each> 
Output: 
<Version>1.26</Version>

There is still one issue,
cause the root elment is dnamiccaly , sometimes I need to get the root name:

Root is a bad name (since in xpath the root is / which is the parent of 
the element that you want) you want /*[1] (It is much better to use * 
rather than node() here otherwise a comment or processing instruction 
will break your code.)

Don't use a variable with content as that generates a temporary tree, 
you just want a string so use

<xsl:variable name="Root" select="/*[1]/name()"/>


I try it in output
          <tesTag>
   <xsl:value-of select="$Root"/>
           </tesTag>

As Result
I get the right root name, RootElement but the namespace in the output 
coccures too:
      <tesTag 
xmlns:ns1=http://xmlns.oracle.com/applicaation/mu/v1"/>RootElement</tesTag>

The namespace is not in the XML,. it is actually defined in the XSL 
stylesheet header!!



That is the standard behaviour for literal result elements, the declared 
namespace is in scope. You can use     

exclude-result-prefixes

on your xsl:stylesheet element to stop this.
