Re: Another newbie problem...

This is one of those irritating fine points.  Your xml file has a default
namespace.  In xslt,  to match  those elements you need a prefix referring
to the element's namespace (same for attributes).  You don't have one
because (of course) you didn't use one in the source document.

The remedy is to specify one in the stylesheet.  And then you use
exclude-result-prefixes because you don't want that dummy prefix showing up
in the output.  So:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
xmlns:x="http://schema.upcast.com/content";
 exclude-result-prefixes='x'>

Next, you have to make sure to specify the namespace by using your new
prefix for all elements and attributes of the source document you want to
match or select on, like so:

<xsl:template match="/x:itemListInfo">
    <html>
        <table border='1' width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1"
class="listTable">
            <tr><xsl:apply-templates
select="x:headerInfo/x:headerList/x:header" /></tr>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="x:itemList/x:item" />
        </table>
    </html>
</xsl:template>

If you go through the entire stylesheet and add the prefix everywhere, it
will work (I tried it).  It still may have errors, but they would be normal
errors, not these mysterious namespace errors.  Note that you do NOT have to
change the source document, since those elements are properly in that
namespace already.
