XSLT Extension Object returns empty default namespace

[Simon_Keep@hotmail.com]

Hi,

I have an Xslt extension object that returns a node-set to the xslt
stylesheet which then uses an xsl:copy-to statement to write it to the
output.

The problem I am having is that the copied elements appear with an
empty default namespace appearing on them (xmlns=""). The root element
of the output XML does declare a default namespace
(xmlns="urn:sch emas-microsoft-com:office:spre adsheet").

I have tried adding the same default namespace to the root node
returned by the extension object but it still appears as an empty
string in the output XML.

Can anybody help?

Thanks,
Si.

xsl:copy-to? I guess you use xsl:copy-of.

xsl:copy-of simply copies the node(s) to the result tree, it does not
matter which namespace the root element has, your extension object has
to create the elements in the intended namespace.

We need to see exactly how you are creating the nodes in the extension
object then to figure what goes wrong.

Re: XSLT Extension Object returns empty default namespace

Hi Martin,

I think I have fixed it.

I was adding the namespace as an attribute to the root node instead of
specifying it as the namespaceURI when calling the CreateElement
method.

Thanks anyway for your prompt reply.
