how can I do this ?

[julio]

Hi, I have problem with namespaces and attributes.
I want to get this:

<grammar xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar" xmlns:sapi="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Speech/2002/06/SRGSExtensions" I have the following XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xslutput method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:element name="grammar">
<xsl:attribute name="xmlns">http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="sapi" namespace="xmlns">http://schemas.microsoft.com/Speech/2002/06/SRGSExtensions</xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> </xsl:template>

but I can't get what I want, it don't work. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.
Julio

Strange, it _does_ work for me... but i appended
</xsl:stylesheet>
to your stylesheet

w.kind regards

% I want to get this:
%
% <grammar xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar" % xmlns:sapi="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Speech/2002/06/SRGSExtensions" % >

% I have the following XSLT:
%
% <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
% <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
% xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> % <xslutput method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" /> % % <xsl:template match="/"> % <xsl:element name="grammar"> % <xsl:attribute % name="xmlns">http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar</xsl:attribute>

Don't treat the name space declaration as an ordinary attribute. Just declare the name space, and it should be emitted as needed. For instance, if you put

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar" xmlns:sapi="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Speech/2002/06/SRGSExtensions">

at the top of your style sheet, you can put

<grammar>
<sapi:excuse-my-ignorance/>
</grammar>

In your template, and it will come out with the appropriate name space declarations.

Hi, I'm using XmlSpy 2004 and I don't what I want.
Which xslt engine are you using?
Cheers!

Hi, I supose if I try what you say it will work. However, I only need the attribute 'xmlns:sapi="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Speech/2002/06/SRGSExtensions" ' to say to the grammar compiler to use some extension to build the binary file of the grammar. Let me show what I need to get, you will see that I don't need a tag <sapi:whatever ... />.

<grammar xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar" xmlns:sapi="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Speech/2002/06/SRGSExtensions" xml:lang="en-US" tag-format="semantics-ms/1.0" version="1.0" mode="voice"> <rule id="root" scope="public"> <tag>$.Result={}</tag> <one-of> <item> <item>Boston Fortune</item> <tag>$.Result.FirstName=Boston</tag> <tag>$.Result.LastName=Fortune</tag> <tag>$.Result.Extension=123</tag> <tag>$.Result.Department=Development</tag> </item> <item> <item>Londo Deamon</item> <tag>$.Result.FirstName=Londo</tag> <tag>$.Result.LastName=Deamon</tag> <tag>$.Result.Extension=456</tag> <tag>$.Result.Department=Development</tag> </item> <item> <item>Oxford Cowboy</item> <tag>$.Result.FirstName=Oxford</tag> <tag>$.Result.LastName=Cowboy</tag> <tag>$.Result.Extension=789</tag> <tag>$.Result.Department=Research</tag> </item> </one-of> </rule> </grammar>

Now I have it working with the following xslt, but I beleive it's a workaround and not a good solution:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sapi="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Speech/2002/06/SRGSExtensions" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar"> <xslutput method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/">
<grammar
xmlns:sapi="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Speech/2002/06/SRGSExtensions" xml:lang="en-US" tag-format="semantics-ms/1.0" version="1.0" mode="voice" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar"> <!-- <xsl:element name="grammar"> <xsl:attribute name="xmlns">http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="xmlns:sapi">http://schemas.microsoft.com/Speech/2002/06/SRGSExtens ions</xsl:attribute>

<xsl:attribute name="xml:lang">en-US</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="tag-format">semantics-ms/1.0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="version">1.0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="mode">voice</xsl:attribute>
-->
<xsl:element name="rule">
<xsl:attribute name="id">root</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="scope">public</xsl:attribute>

<xsl:call-template name="tag">
<xsl:with-param name="name">$.Result</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="value">{}</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>

<xsl:element name="one-of">
<xsl:for-each select="//User">
<xsl:call-template name="user" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
<!--
</xsl:element>
-->
</grammar>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="tag">
<xslaram name="name" />
<xslaram name="value" />

<xsl:element name="tag">
<xsl:value-of select="$name" />
<xsl:text>=</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$value" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="user">
<xsl:element name="item">
<xsl:element name="item">
<xsl:value-of select="./FirstName" />
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="./LastName" />
</xsl:element>

<xsl:call-template name="tag">
<xsl:with-param name="name">$.Result.FirstName</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="value"><xsl:value-of select="./FirstName" /></xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template>

<xsl:call-template name="tag">
<xsl:with-param name="name">$.Result.LastName</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="value"><xsl:value-of select="./LastName" /></xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template>

<xsl:call-template name="tag">
<xsl:with-param name="name">$.Result.Extension</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="value"><xsl:value-of select="./Extension" /></xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template>

<xsl:call-template name="tag">
<xsl:with-param name="name">$.Result.Department</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="value"><xsl:value-of select="./Department" /></xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:element> </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

As you can see, there are some part that are commented becuase they don't work.

Cheers!

This sounds like a misuse of the name space declaration.

I'm not sure what your problem is. Do you mean you would rather have <xsl:element name='grammar'> ...

rather than
<grammar ...>

?

Blech. In my opinion, you should never use xsl:element or xsl:attribute unless you need to generate the names dynamically. It makes the stylesheet about a hundred times harder to read when you do.

If it's not that, then what's the problem?

Hi,
I would rather user <xsl:element name='grammar'> than <grammar ...> I beleive it's more properly done this way (<xsl:element name='grammar'>) than the other way (<grammar ...>). Maybe it's a really misuse of namespace declaration. I don't know. I have created a C# program that create this kind of grammar files, with the use of createelement and createattibute of the xmldocument object. I thouht it will be same with XSLT.
Cheers!

% I would rather user <xsl:element name='grammar'> than <grammar ...> % I beleive it's more properly done this way (<xsl:element % name='grammar'>) than the other way (<grammar ...>).

Just get that idea out of your head. I mean, do it if you want, but don't imagine it's more proper. To me, it's harder to read, harder to maintain and just generally worse in every way imaginable.

Having said that, if you control the semantics behind this use of xmlns:whatever, then change the way you do things. Create an attribute in your own name space which tells your code to do whatever it is you need to do, rather than depending on a particular name space declaration being present.
