Re: [xsl] Accessing inline XML schema with XSLT

[David Carlisle <davidc at nag dot co dot uk>]

there is nothing special about the schema elements to XSLT, you match
them just as for any other element.

<xs:schema id="NewDataSet" xmlns=""
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";

That's the element schema in namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema


<xsl:value-of select="xs:schema/@id"/>

and that would select the id of that attribute if xs: in the stylesheet
is mapped to http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema 

It looks like you have not declared the xs: prefix at all in the
stylesheet so you should get an XPath parse error about the undeclared
prefix.

just add xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; to your stylesheet
(eg onto xsl:stylesheet element)
It isn't necessary to use the same xs: prefix as used in teh source
file, you just need to make sure the namespace is declared with some
prefix and use that in xpath expressions.
