Hi, I'm still unable to figure this one out. I've posted a test case (code at: http://www.pastebin.ca/800703, xml file at: http://www.pastebin.ca/800704), where I've tried local-name(/*) to fetch the root element name, but no luck. Any suggestions or advice are appreciated. Thanks ..Tom _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
