Hi Elad
In XSLT 1.0 you cannot match a namespaced element UNLESS you use a
namespace prefix. If the input document uses a default namespace (i.e.
with no prefix), you can still match it, but your template/@match
expressions MUST use a prefix.
In your XSLT, bind the XHTML namespace to a prefix, and use that prefix
in your match expressions, e.g. "//xhtml:head" instead of "//head". This
will match even if the XHTML namespace in the input document is the
default namespace (i.e. without a prefix).
Hope that helps!

PS this isn't a Cocoon issue as such - you're usually better off to ask
this type of question on the MulberryTech XSL mail-list.

Subject: JXTemplate, Xpath and Namespace
Hello all
I have a newbie question related to Xpath expression and
Namspaces.
Here goes :
I have an XHTML page. It looks like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-7"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd> ">
<html xmlns:bla="http://bla";
xmlns:jx="http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0";>
<head>
<title>title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type"
content="text/css" />
.
.
.
Then I pass it through the JXTemplate generator, which
changes it to the xml that look like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd> ">
<html xmlns:bla="http://bla";
xmlns:jx="http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0";
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type"
content="text/css"/>
.
.
.
As you see, the default namespace
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml> was added
to the html declaration. Now - when I try to match a template in
this xml document - I.E. " //head " the Xpath doesn't find the node -
because it is actually connected to the default namespace, and Xpath
will not return the <head> element. I think that for Xpath there is no
such thing as default namespace.
I know I can use the Xpath expression with *[1] and etc
to reach the desired node- but this is not very elegant.
So my question is - What should be done in this case ?
Should I have the JXTemplate generator to not add the
defualt namespace ? How ?
Or maybe this is not the right direction ?
Thanks
Elad Messing
