[b]BUT[b]
if my input xml is like this then i am not getting any output.

the difference between first and last xml is xmlns="foo".
Please help me on how to write xsl for the above xml.

Which parser/transformation implementation are you using? Could you post the XSL you got working for the no-namespace version?

Thanks for replying Lasse,
I took the xsl example from http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_transformation.asp I'm using xalan for java latest. For the second case i have not changed the xsl code.

The xsl that I'm trying for the second case..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns="www.xml.com" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>My CD Collection</h2>
<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th align="left">Title</th>
<th align="left">Artist</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="catalog/cd">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

I didn't use any book. Only the XSL spec and experimenting

However, if you want a book recommendation, I've been very happy with XML: The Complete Reference. It's a reference, not a "learn XML" book, but it has worked for me as a companion for online tutorials etc.
