    removing elements in namespace

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to clean up the output from Word that has been
    pasted into a textarea. I'm purging much of the html (all
    styles, attributes etc) and would also like to remove things
    like vector graphics. To do this I want to simply drop all
    elements (or their children) which are in any namespace other
    than the default: all the microsoft-specific o:p, v:drawLine, etc
    tags. But I can't persuade javascript to even see the namespaces!
    I'm using IE5.5 (this needs to work on browsers that old, but no
    older).

    Has anyone done this before? Is there some simple step I might
    be missing? Given an element variable, could you give me a line
    or two of code just to display the namespace tag?

    Thanks

    Graham

      With IE 5 and later on Win elements have two properties
      scopeName
      giving the prefix and
      tagUrn
      giving the Namespace URN for example

      <html lang="en"
      xmlns:gods="htt p://example.com/2004/09/gods">
      <head>
      <title>scopeNam e and tagUrn</title>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      function testNamespacePr operties () {
      var elements = document.body.a ll;
      if (elements) {
      var result = '';
      for (var i = 0; i < elements.length ; i++) {
      var element = elements[i];
      result += 'tagName: ' + element.tagName + '; ';
      result += 'scopeName: ' + element.scopeNa me + '; ';
      result += 'tagUrn: ' + element.tagUrn;
      result += '\r\n';
      }
      alert(result);
      }
      }

      window.onload = function (evt) {
      testNamespacePr operties();
      };
      </script>
      </head>
      <body>
      <p id="p1">
      This is a HTML paragraph.
      </p>
      <div>
      <gods:GOD id="GOD">Kibo</gods:GOD>
      </div>
      </body>
      </html>
