First of all thanks very trying to help me with this. It is good to know there seems more behind this problem then just a small error - played to long with this problem to be just easy to solve. :-)
It seems it has to do something with the html tag combined with the XHTML namespace. I tried your things and had the same results. I found this point what might has do somehting with it: http://archives.real-time.com/pipermail/cocoon-devel/2003-May/013622.htm l I am using Xalan 2.5.0. Is this maybe a reason?
