I have come across an issue that is puzzling me but should be no problem for the experienced scholars on here. I am trying to parse an XML Schema document as a generic XML document, and I would like to be able to separate namespaces from names. For example, consider the following global element: <xsd:complexType name="myType" ref="abc:otherType" /> I would like to do a couple of things with this. First, I would like to be able to determine that an element called complexType is in the Schema namespace (rather than just consider it an element with name "xsd:complexType"). Secondly, I would like to know that the value of ref is "otherType" in the namespace aliased with the prefix "abc". Is there a way to do this with the DOM (perhaps DOM Level 3)? There may also be a way to do this with the Schema API, but the API only allows for processing of top-level components. I need to be able to deal with components that may be local to something else. Any insight as to the incorrectness of any implicit assumptions I have made here or into the manner in which I can separate name from namespace is appreciated. Thanks again for your help. NEIL
