<xsl:apply-templates> effect on DOM object type?

C.W.Holeman II

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.3 on MSWindows.
I have an XML file http://emle.sourceforge.net/emle020000/testb.xml
which invokes an XSLT file http://emle.sourceforge.net/emle020000/testb.xsl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="testb.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<z xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<x/>
</z>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output
method="xml"
encoding="iso-8859-1"
indent="yes"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"
/>

<xsl:template match="/z">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<script>
.... DEBUG CODE DELETED. ...
</head>
<body onload="init();">
<div>
<xsl:apply-templates select="x" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="x">
<span>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" />
</span>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
The result of the transform is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><script type="text/javascript">
function init() { lu = function luf(){return
'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml';}; var span = document.evaluate("//span",
document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null)
..singleNodeValue; var div = document.evaluate("//xhtml:div", document,
lu, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null) .singleNodeValue;
alert("span:" + span + " div:" + div); return; } </script></head><body
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" onload="init();"<div <span <svg
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"/ </span</div></body></html>The alert
displays span as an Element object and the div as an HTMLDivElement.
What is it about the <xsl:template match="x"that has this effect?

XSLT is namespace-aware. Your stylesheet copies a <spanelement with no
namespace into the output document, which means it won't be recognized
as being an XHTML span element.

Change your code to:

<xsl:template match="x">
<span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" />
</span>
</xsl:template>

Add
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
to the xsl:stylesheet element, that way all your literal XHTML elements
will be in the XHTML namespace. Otherwise in any template you write you
will need to make sure that the XHTML default namespace declaration is
set for XHTML elements.

That does it. Thanks again. Corrected and working version:
