Last week I spent two days trying to figure this out searching the web,
Doug Tidwell's XSLT (ORA) and dpawson's FAQ on Namespaces before posting
this question - hopefully this time someone can answer yea or nay...
I want to write a stylesheet that will handle XML that comes in with and
without the 'header'.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RII>
<Invoices>
......
and
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RII version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.regent-inns.com/RegentInvoices.xsd"
xmlns:mstns="http://www.regent-inns.com/XMLSchema.xsd" xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.regent-inns.com/RegentInvoices.xsd C:\AIP\RIInvoice.XSD">
<Invoices>
......
How do I write a stylesheet without having two versions of everything -
one without namespace prefixes and the other with? At present my code
duplicates everything:
<xsl:template match="Invoice">
<!-- Works for files without namespace -->
<Invoice>
<SuppAcctCode>
<xsl:value-of select="AcctCode"/>
</SuppAcctCode>
....
<xsl:template match="RII:Invoice">
<!-- Works for files with namespace -->
<SuppAcctCode>
<xsl:value-of select="RII:AcctCode"/>
</SuppAcctCode>
....
I have looked at namespace-alias and local-name but can't see how they
would help. Should I set a variable 'namespace' and use that as a prefix?
How?
TIA
