RE: Colon character problematic in ??

[Marylynne Henry]

Similarly, I am having problems with the '&' character. Is there a way to escape this character when it appears in the text?   Thank you   Marylynne Henry   -----Original Message----- From: Joe Sytniak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 5:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Colon character problematic in <xsl:template match="StringContainingColon"> ?? All - I am using ADO to produce XML. This tends to get created as such:     <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"?>     <xml xmlns:s="uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882"         xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"         xmlns:rs="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset" xmlns:z="#RowsetSchema">     <s:Schema id="RowsetSchema">         ..... clipped schema elements     </s:Schema>     <rs:data>         <z:row atributes go here></z:row>     </rs:data> I am able to create XSL for normal transformations to HTML just fine. But in order to get XSLFO to work, I must change the names of the 'rs:data' and 'z:row' nodes to something that does not contain a colon charater (ie. rs-data & z-row). This seems to indicate that it is the colon character that is causing the problem. Not sure if it could be anything else. I suppose I could copy nodes to another more friendly node, but it seems that this should not be necessary. Anyone have a better way of dealing with this? TIA Joe Sytniak Phase Forward, Inc.
