Incorrect Namespace output

Hi,

I am referencing the following namespaces in the top of my XSLT and am having difficulty getting the correct output further into my code.

XSLT NS references

Code:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:msg="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dynamics/2006/02/documents/Message" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:si="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dynamics/2006/02/documents/SalesInvoice" xmlns:js-function="//CALjs-functions">

My XSLT transformation code is:

Code:

 
<xsl:element name="InvoiceHeader">
<xsl:attribute name="fo:noNamespaceSchemaLocation"><xsl:text>http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>

...
...
...
 
</xsl:element>

The required output is:

Code:

<InvoiceHeader xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
/>

But I'm getting:

Code:

<InvoiceHeader xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" fo:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"/>

Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance,

First I suggest you use literal result elements rather than xsl:element. Then you just need to write:

<InvoiceHeader>

so long as you add exclude-result-prefixes="msg si" (for example) to the xsl:stylesheet element, listing all prefixes that you have declared but do not want to appear in the output.

I'm afraid I'm at a complete loss to understand why you thought that outputting an attribute with name fo:noNamespaceSchemaLocation would not cause an attribute of that name to be output.
