XSLT Won't match any Element Names?!?!

[markmcgookin]

Hi,

I have the following XML

<AnswerList xmlns="http://tempuri.org/ALPS_Assessmentv1p1_RESCO_Schema.xsd">
	<DateTimeLastSaved>12:12:12 1900</DateTimeLastSaved>
	<UserName>Bob</UserName>
	<AssessmentName>Name of Assessment</AssessmentName>
	<AssessmentID>AssID</AssessmentID>
	<Sec_1_1189068258258>TEXT IN HERE</Sec_1_1189068258258>
	<Sec_2_1188555751625_MC0>1</Sec_2_1188555751625_MC0>
	<Sec_2_1188555751625_MC1>2</Sec_2_1188555751625_MC1>
	<Sec_2_1188555751625_MC2>3</Sec_2_1188555751625_MC2>
	<Sec_2_1188555751625_MC3>4</Sec_2_1188555751625_MC3>
	<xSec_Sec_1>Step 2 of 8 - What happened?</xSec_Sec_1>
	<xSec_Sec_2>Step 4 of 8  Assessor feedback</xSec_Sec_2>
</AnswerList>

and the following XSL

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<!-- Declare the output doctype -->
	<!--xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"  doctype-system="ims_qtiresv1p2.dtd"></xsl:output -->
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<qti_result_report>
			<result>
				<!-- Get the date that the assessment was submitted on -->
				<xsl:variable name="DateSubmitted">
					<xsl:value-of select="DateTimeLastSaved" />
				</xsl:variable>

				<!-- Get the Username of the user submitting the document -->
				<xsl:variable name="UserName">
					<xsl:value-of select="UserName" />
				</xsl:variable>

				<!-- Get the date that the assessment was submitted on -->
				<xsl:variable name="AssessmentName">
					<xsl:value-of select="AssessmentName" />
				</xsl:variable>

				<!-- Populate the Context -->
				<xsl:element name="context">
					<xsl:element name="name">
						<xsl:value-of select="$UserName" />
					</xsl:element>
					<xsl:element name="generic_identifier">
						<xsl:element name="type_label">
							<xsl:text>Student Username</xsl:text>
						</xsl:element>
						<xsl:element name="identifier_string">
							<xsl:value-of select="$UserName"/>
						</xsl:element>
					</xsl:element>
					<xsl:element name="date">
						<xsl:element name="type_label">
							<xsl:text>Exam</xsl:text>
						</xsl:element>
						<xsl:element name="datetime">
							<xsl:value-of select="$DateSubmitted"/>
						</xsl:element>
					</xsl:element>
				</xsl:element>

				<!-- Details about the assessment -->
				<xsl:element name="assessment_result">
					<xsl:attribute name="asi_title">
						<xsl:value-of select="AssessmentName"/>
					</xsl:attribute>
					<xsl:attribute name="ident_ref">
						<xsl:value-of select="AssessmentID"/>
					</xsl:attribute>
				</xsl:element>
				<!-- End of populate the Context -->

				<xsl:for-each select=".">
					<xsl:variable name="elem">
						<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
					</xsl:variable>
					<xsl:variable name="elem_sub">
						<xsl:value-of select="substring($elem,1,4)"/>
					</xsl:variable>
					<xsl:if test="$elem_sub='xSec_'">
						<xsl:element name="section_result_title">
							<xsl:attribute name="asi_title">
								<xsl:value-of select="current()"/>
							</xsl:attribute>
						</xsl:element>
					</xsl:if>
				</xsl:for-each>
			</result>
		</qti_result_report>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

No matter what I do I can't get this to work!! For some reason there is an issue here with matching the "/" root node.

If I do <xsl:template match="AnswerLi st"> to start with it will fire off the template lower down the XSL but with NO values in it.... I can not figure out what position I am at in the code.

If i do

<xsl:for-each select="child::node()">
<xsl:for-each select="child::node()">
<TEST />

I will get the right amount of TEST's for the nodes in the AnswerList but I can not match them for some reason.

As far as I can tell the XML is valid (Created in VS2005 according to a schema).

I have had this before hbut was able to get a work-around looping through the code with "for-each"s but that is not appropriate in this case.

I really need help here folks, as this project is already behind schedule and the customer is NOT happy! :S

Thanks very much,

If someone could do a transform on this in xmlnotepad or something and have a look at the results and tell me why it's not working I would really appreciate it!

Cheers,

I figured this out... essentially XSLT HATES stuff with default namespace... so I changed my schema and XML file so I don't have a namespace in the XML doc and it's working (for now)

Good of you to let us know it is working, Mark!

Have a great week...
