Re: Processing HTML document.


Declare xhtml namespace in the stylesheet and use something like "x:html/x:body/x:table...", where x is a defined by you xhtml namespace prefix.

Hello,

I am trying to get an XHTML document into an XSLT processor, to get XML on the output.

For example, I want to be able to use the following on my XSL file:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<article>
<xsl:apply-templates select="html/body/table[3]/tr[1]/td[1]" />
</article>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Because I know that on the first cell of the first row of the third table which is directly in the body of my html document contains an article.

It does not work. I am afraid I have a problem with my namespaces, as the following (equivalent) XSL works:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<article>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[name()='html']/*[name()='body']/*[name()='table'][3]/*[name()='tr'][1]/*[name()='td'][1]" />
</article>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

However, I'd prefer not to use the second form. Obvious reason.


What am I doing wrong?????!!!

P.S.: Here is the beginning of my HTML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<!-- #BeginTemplate "/Templates/standard.dwt" -->

<head>
<!-- Some meta tags and a link tag. All of them empty and valid. -->
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
