remove blank (xmlns="") from elements

markmcgookin

Hi,

I am creating an MXL doc using XSLT but for some reason it is churning out elements like this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <DateTimeLastSaved xmlns="" />
  2. <UserName xmlns="" />
when I delete xmlns="" it works fine, but if I leave it in there are issues reading/saving the file. Is there any way to remove this xmlns="" in the xslt?

Cheers,

Mark

When you are creating the elements, you need to have the same namespace as the parent elements (xmlns = XMLNameSpace) . Add the parent's namespace to those elements when you are creating it.

eg probably something like

xmlns="www.yahoo.com"

Hi there,

I noticed that people were able to solve this problem here, I just hope that re-using this thread will get me a responce here.... I have the same problem, where my xslt is producing elements but all with xmlns="" in them, and when I remove it manually my code works fine, but just using the raw output my code falls over... would anyone be able to help me?

Thanks very much for any help folks,

Really appreciated.

Wherever you have an <xsl:element> tag, be sure to use the namespace attribute.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <xsl:element name="DateTimeLastSaved" namespace="{$myNS}"/>
  2. <xsl:element name="UserName" namespace="{$myNS}"/>
