Hello I'm new to this Forum!

I'm currently also trying to embed XSL directly into an XML file - so far so good. I also tried the examples mentioned above. My problem is the following. But first the sample code here:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='#test'?>
<!DOCTYPE target [<!ATTLIST xsl:stylesheet id ID #REQUIRED>]>
<target xmlns="urn:asdf">
  <xsl:stylesheet id="test" xmlns:n1="urn:asdf" version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="W3 XSL Transformation">     
  <xsl:output method="html"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <head>
        <title>
          <xsl:value-of select="n1:target/n1:title"/>          
        </title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <h1>
          <center>
            <xsl:value-of select="n1:target/n1:title"/>            
          </center>
         </h1> 
       </body>
     </html>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="xsl:stylesheet"/>
  </xsl:stylesheet>
  <title>This is the title</title>
</target>

The example works fine in Safari 5 but not in Firefox 4. Well in Firefox it shows "This is the title" twice, but without formatation. Interestingly, if I remove the xmlns="urn:asdf" and xmlns:n1="urn:asdf" everthing works quite fine - in Safari and Firefox. However nothing is presented if I write xmlns="urn:asdf" in the target-Tag and the xsl:stylesheet-Tag.

Anyway why is it necessary to define xmlns for the XML and the XSL even if it's the same? Why do I have to add ":n1" for the xmlns in the stylesheet? And why is there no problem at all, when I remove both xmlns instructions?

I would be grateful for any help. Thank you.

Problem is namespace

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='#test'?>
<!DOCTYPE n1:target [
	<!ELEMENT xsl:value-of EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST xsl:value-of
	select CDATA #FIXED "n1:target/n1:title"
>
<!ELEMENT xsl:template ((html))>
<!ATTLIST xsl:template
	match CDATA #FIXED "/"
>
<!ELEMENT xsl:stylesheet ((xsl:output, xsl:template))>
<!ATTLIST xsl:stylesheet
	id CDATA #FIXED "test"
	version CDATA #FIXED "1.0"
	xmlns:n1 CDATA #FIXED "urn:asdf"
	xmlns:xsl CDATA #FIXED "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>
<!ELEMENT xsl:output EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST xsl:output
	method CDATA #FIXED "html"
>
<!ELEMENT title ((xsl:value-of))>
<!ELEMENT n1:title (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT n1:target ((xsl:stylesheet, n1:title))>
<!ATTLIST n1:target
	xmlns:n1 CDATA #FIXED "urn:asdf"
>
<!ELEMENT html ((head, body))>
<!ELEMENT head ((title))>
<!ELEMENT h1 ((center))>
<!ELEMENT center ((xsl:value-of))>
<!ELEMENT body ((h1))>
]>
<n1:target xmlns:n1="urn:asdf">
	<xsl:stylesheet id="test" xmlns:n1="urn:asdf" version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
		<xsl:output method="html"/>
		<xsl:template match="/">
			<html>
				<head>
					<title>
						<xsl:value-of select="n1:target/n1:title"/>
					</title>
				</head>
				<body>
					<h1>
						<center>
							<xsl:value-of select="n1:target/n1:title"/>
						</center>
					</h1>
				</body>
			</html>
		</xsl:template>
		</xsl:stylesheet>
	<n1:title>This is the title</n1:title>
</n1:target>

tested opera9 firefox4 ie8

Code:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>This is the title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>
<center>This is the title</center>
</h1>
</body>
</html>

Thx Helmut for your reply.

I see the point. But why does everything work quite smoothly if i put the stylesheet in a separate file? So we have the XML and the XSL:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='test02.xsl'?>
<target xmlns="urn:asdf">
  <title>This is the title</title>
</target>

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:n1="urn:asdf" version="1.0" xmlns:xsl=""> 
  <xsl:output method="html"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <head>
        <title>
          <xsl:value-of select="n1:target/n1:title"/>
        </title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <h1>
          <center>
            <xsl:value-of select="n1:target/n1:title"/>
          </center>
        </h1>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
  <!--xsl:template match="xsl:stylesheet"/-->
</xsl:stylesheet>

Why is Firefox not able to interpret the style correctly, if its embedded in the XML as shown in my first post? Whereas - if I analyse the generated Code with WebDeveloper it seems to be transformed correctly - only presentation fails.

Thx in advance, _gabe_
