    Prefix not defined

    Hi,

    I would like to output some code in XSLT in the format:

                    <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"
                         addthis:url="http://example.com"
                         addthis:title="An Example Title">

    But XSLT tries to define addthis as a Namespace whereas I just want it output as it is. It results in a "Namespace prefix is not defined" error. Is there anyway around this?

    Thanks

    Hi Paul,

    Generating prefixed elements (and attributes) requires that the prefix be bound to a Namespace URI - you can just define the prefix in your top-level <xsl:stylesheet> along with all the others:

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
   xmlns:xsl="..."
   xmlns:umbraco.library="..."
   xmlns:addthis="http://somenamespace.com"
> ...

    Then you're allowed to generate those attributes.

    It's an error to generate prefixed elements/attributes without defining the Namespace URI for them, so the processor will output the namespace declaration in the top-most element in your frontend (usually <html> or <body> but your mileage may vary...)
