I think I wasn't clear enough in my example, and confused you further by
using the 'local' prefix. Let's take a simpler example:
<test xmlns="abc">{ collection()/x/y/z }</test>
In this query, /x/y/z will select elements with local-names x, y, and z,
*in* the "abc" namespace. If x, y, and z are actually in the empty
namespace, they won't match. I believe this is the problem you're facing.
To fix this, we can move the namespace-sensitive XPath outside the scope
of the xmlns declaration.
let $val := collection()/x/y/z
return <test xmlns="abc">{ $val }</test>
Now the XPath uses the empty namespace, and we can refer to its bound
variable, $val, in the enclosed expression.
Does that help?

I'm still having a problem with this. I have adjusted my code so that it
follows Mike's suggestions and also has my getTeasers function inline and not
in another module (which is where I'd ideally like it to be). However,
although I can see the results, I still can't access specific elements (such as
title, text, etc.) within the resultset. I understand that my results are in
the default namespace, but I haven't found a way to access them directly. Does
anyone know how to do this?
Here is my code:

declare variable $pageName := "labs";

declare function local:getTeasers( $locale, $type, $pageName ) {
let $teasers := /[EMAIL PROTECTED] = $locale]/[EMAIL PROTECTED] =
$type][page = $pageName]
return $teasers
};

Mindie,
I'd avoid setting the default element namespace in a prolog, like that.
Instead, try something like this (porting to xquery 0.9-ml is left as an
exercise):
xquery version "1.0-ml";
declare variable $METADATA as element() :=
<meta><title>this is the title</title></meta>
;
declare function local:get-title($m as element(meta))
as xs:string
{
$m/title
};
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>{ local:get-title($METADATA) }</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>this is a test</p>
</body>
</html>
Since local:get-title is outside the scope of the html xmlns decl, it
uses the default element namespace, which is still the empty namespace.

I have a .xqy file that calls the getTeasers function in the common module:
default element namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
import module namespace common = "commonFunctions" at
"../modules/commonFunctions.xqy"
let $featureTeasers := common:getTeasers( $locale, "Feature", $pageName )
I then try to iterate over the results, but I get nothing back except xml. I'm
pretty sure it is because the results are in a different namespace, but I can't
find out how to access them in the correct namespace in my for loop.
<div id="labs-featured">
<div id="labs-welcome">
<h1>{ common:getString($locale, $pageName, "welcome")
}</h1>
<p>{ common:getString($locale, $pageName,
"description") }</p>
</div>
{
for $teaser in $featureTeasers/teaser
let $title as xs:string? := $teaser/title
let $teaserText as xs:string? := $teaser/text
let $imageName as xs:string? := $teaser/image
let $url as xs:string? := $teaser/url
order by xs:integer($teaser/@sequence) ascending
return $title
}
</div>
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Mindie
