Duplicate Namespace Declaration in XML

[echoharger]

Hello,

I have two XML files. File#1 has a namespace. File#2 does not. I am storing some XML from File#1 in File#2, therefore, the node has a namespace attribute.

Later, I remove the node from File#2 and append it back to File#1. The node keeps it's namespace attribute even though File#1 has a default namespace of equal value.

The problem is, the software that reads File#1 is refusing to read the file with the extra namespace tags, even though the tags have the same value.

Can anyone help me figure out how to get around this problem?
Many Thanks.

P.S. I am using DOM in a VB6 application.

Hi,

You need to show us the actual XML snippets for us to be sure, but from what you say, the XML is conforming to spec and the software is not.
