xsl problems (maybe an namespace issue?)

[mclosson]

I have an xsl file:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xslutput method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="svg">
<xsl:apply-templates select="mask"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="mask">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

that I'm trying to use to transform an xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg xmlns="

http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

xmlns:xlink="

http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

xmlns:gmwmsvg="

http://www.intergraph.com/GeoMedia/wmsvg">

<mask id="gwmmask">
<rect id="gwmmaskrect" x="0" y="0" width="20480" height="15360" style="fill:white"/>
</mask>
<g>
<rect id="gwmbg" x="-204800" y="-153600" width="430080" height="322560" style="fill:#ebebeb"/>
<g>
<path/>
<path/>
<path/>
</g>
</g>
</svg>


My goal is to select only the "mask" section in the results, as follows:

<mask id="gwmmask">
<rect id="gwmmaskrect" x="0" y="0" width="20480" height="15360" style="fill:white"/>
</mask>

When I try, with the xsl as above, I get no results. The only way I can get results is to use <xsl:template match="/"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsl:template> in the xsl (and then I get everything - not what I'm looking for). I'm thinking my problem may be the namespaces used in the <svg> node of the xml file, as it all works if I take them out. For my situation, they will need to stay in though. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.


Thanks,

Mike

Why dont you try:

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:copy-of select="svg/mask" />
</xsl:template>
