XMLDOM apprentice

[Arthur 51]

Hi.
I am using XMLDOM with PL/SQL.
I have successfully developed a function that creates the XML
EG.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- <Root >
...
...
...
</Root>

But the <root> needs to have something like the following
- <Root xmlns="http://www.domain.com/package/2006/content-types"
xmlns=http://www.domain.com">

Any advice very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Arthur

You can only have one xmlns="something" on a single element, two are not
allowed.
As for creating <Root xmlns="http://example.com/foo"></Root>, in the W3C
DOM Level 2 or 3 world you can use (in Javascript syntax)
var el = doc.createElementNS("http://example.com/foo", "Root");
In the MSXML world you would use createNode instead
var el = doc.createNode(1, "Root", "http://example.com/foo");

Whether any of that applies to the system you work with "PL/SQL" I have
no idea at all, you will need to look for a forum or newsgroup or
mailing list dedicated to PL/SQL to find some expertise on that.
