Right, try something like:
dim uri As String = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
dim prefix As String = "xlink"
e.setAttribute("xmlns:"+prefix, uri) // don't remember, but you may
not need this line
e.setAttribute(uri, prefix+":href", Image.Name)
And yes, when you start dealing with namespaces, if you screw up, RB
crashes hard!
There's several bugs reported in the 5.x line about such things. They
have never been addressed, and they are still alive and well.

Hi Folks,
I'm not finding this part of REALbasic's XML implementation too
well documented (or maybe I'm missing something altogether). The
XML document I'm trying to recreate is at the bottom of my message.
The problem I've run into is with setting an attribute that has a
namespace.
I need to write out the following attribute in the <image> element:
xlink:href="Test Bitmap.png"
If I write out something like:
//e is an working XMLElement object
e.SetAttribute("xlink:href",Image.Name)
Rb will crash (2006R2). I assume this is because I'm not setting up
the namespace properly, as my sample XML document does in the <svg>
element:
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
Am I on the right track for using this namespace (xlink)? How do I
go about adding it to my XML document so that I can use it in
attribute? How do I go about using this namespace in attribute?
Thanks,
John Balestrieri
