there's also a "default" namespace. if i call my neighbor i can omit the state code because my neighbor lives in the same state as me, so my state's telcom defines the code of my state as default: xmlns="mystate" xmlns:556="anotherstate" etc (not really accurate here as i could use both 555-2345-6789 and 2345-6789 to call my neighbor, which afaik isn't possible in xml, but your marketing folks will get the idea) cheers, claus. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
