I have a simple xhtml document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>my title</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>para</p>
</body>
</html>
Following template only outputs an emptye <test/>:
<xsl:template match="/">
<test>
<xsl:value-of select="html/head/title"/>
</test>
</xsl:template>
If I remove the DOCTYPE and the xmlns:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<html>
<head>
<title>my title</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>para</p>
</body>
</html>
I get what I expect: <test>my title</test>
Can anybody explain this to me?
Notes:
-I tried this with both xalan and saxon
-I had to change the DOCTYPE to SYSTEM and store the dtd locally, otherwise
the xslt-processor cannot find it.
Thanks
