Re: [xsl] namespace-uri() method returns emty,using xalan 2.0

["challa sumalatha" <drsumalatha at rediffmail dot com>]

Hey list:

 i am using Xalan 2.0 processor.
Using this ,

if i use method1 it doesnt match the template 'a:root' at all.I get an empty document.

if i use method2: it matches the template but i get namespace-uri() empty.

Is this the problem with xalan 2.0??

can any body test with xalan 2.0 and reply me?

Thanks
challa sumalatha
