Newbie: XML 2 XML and namespaces

[Mark Smits]

Hi, newbie needs help...

My from XML has a namespace defined with no prefix. I tried to create a XSL that converts this from XML to another one. I tried it without that namespace and with that namespace. No matter what I try, I can't get this to work.

The only time I succeed is when deleting the namespace in the from XML file.
But that's no option...

Inserted below are a sample XML and XSL file and both have the name spaces. Can someone please point me in the right direction: how to get the XSL to work with that namespace declaration in the XML.

Thanks,
Mark

% My from XML has a namespace defined with no prefix.

This doesn't mean the corresponding tags in XSL need have no prefix.

[...]

% <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
% xmlns="urn:crystal-reports:schemas"
Try

xmlns:cr="urn:crystal-reports:schemas"

[...]

% <xsl:apply-templates select="/Report/Details_1"></xsl:apply-templates> Try <xsl:apply-templates select="/cr:Report/cretails_1"></xsl:apply-templates>

% <xsl:template match="Details_1">
% <xsl:value-of select="Klanten.Klantnummer"/>
and

<xsl:template match="cretails_1">
<xsl:value-of select="cr:Klanten.Klantnummer"/>
