In that case, let me revert to my source problem; the problem which I was hoping to solve with xsl:xpath-default-namespace attribute :-) I have an XML (really an OWL) document which has this element at the top: <rdf:RDF xmlns="http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/xml/owl/EVS/Thesaurus.owl#"; xml:base="http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/xml/owl/EVS/Thesaurus.owl#"; xmlns:protege="http://protege.stanford.edu/plugins/owl/protege#"; xmlns:owl="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#"; xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#";> Inside the document are elements like this: <owl:Class rdf:ID="Benzo_a_pyrene-7_8-diol_9_10-Epoxide"> <rdfs:label>Benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-diol 9,10-Epoxide</rdfs:label> <code>C196</code> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#DNA_Adduct_Forming_Agent"/> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#Intercalating_Agent"/> ........ </owl:Class> Using Xpath inside of Xalan, I am able to access the nodes that are prefixed with a namespace (such as rdfs:subClassOf or rdf:resource). But I am unable to access the <code> element's contents because it has no namespace prefix. For example, "owl:Class/code" does not work. How do I formulate an Xpath expression that accesses the <code> element? -Deio -------------- Original message -------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Xalan is an XSLT 1.0 processor. xsl:xpath-default-namespace is not a 1.0 directive.
