name space style sheet transform question

[bjam]

Hi, I am confused here as I am just trying to convert the following XML
file and trying to create a sample xsl to recognize even one of the
nodes does not seem to be working here... Could this be a name space
issue? I tried adding the rep namespace and setting it equal to the
xmlns for xsl but this did not work either... any ideas on how to get
my style sheet to recognize this xml file? Thanks in advance for your
help with this it is appreciated.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//amountAtDate">
<xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:rep="http://localhost:7001/reporting">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of
select="rep:FrontPage/rep:frontPageSection/rep:sectionLine/rep:lineName"/>
</xsl:template>

Looks OK to me, and works with the stylesheet processors I have to
hand.

Richard,

Thanks for this... for some unknown reason this would not show up in
XML spy until I put HTML tags around it... go figure.. It did work
from the commandline perl libs that I was using to do XSLT though.
Thanks again for investigating this for me I really appreciate your
efforts.
