Hi Eddie, I think zero is the correct number.
The point is that XPath does not have the notion of "default namespace". If names are unprefixed in XPath, they are understood as not belonging to any namespace. Even if your document defines a default namespace, the XPath expressions you want to match against that document should contain prefixed names. Something like /x:a/x:b/x:c. And don't forget to bind this prefix to the same namespace URI as the default namespace in your document. The prefixes you use in your XPaths are totally unrelated to those you use in your documents. They are just symbolic links to the namespace URIs. Strange as it may seem at the first sight, match of an element/attribute to a XPath location step is defined as the equality of the local names and of the namespace URIs at the same time. Prefixes play no role here. Naturally, I don't know this from reading the spec up front, but from a good deal of time I spent experimenting and trying to figure what was up when I tried to match stuff in documents with a default namespace. Anyway, this is how I understand the matter now. Jan Dne pá 3. květen 2002 19:42 Eddie Mc Greal napsal(a): > Hi all, > > I'm getting close to getting all the test passing again.
