Namespaces are a pain. You can declare a "default' namespace, assigning it "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";. That will give you access to the nodes without a specific namespace. Then I guess you will need to use the "::" syntax for the specified namespcaces.
Google this there are several detailed discussions.

Here is a snippet of xml: It contains an element with a namespace (c:question) and several elements without a namespace. If I get the whole thing as an XML object, how do I go about accessing all the different fields. E.G. I need to access the c:question text or c:question subelements So: 1. c:question text: "This is a wine question" 2. c:question subelements: p.ul.li: "Penfolds Grange - no effect" or p: "A bottle shop in a remote country pub sells five different bottled wines. The publican increases the price of a bottle of Jacob's Creek core range by 50 cents." 3. question attribute format: "radio" Ive tried setting a namespace for c and a default namespace but cannot consistently access elements and values from both namespaces. Id love your help.. Thanks. Kr.
