#20 element name is a zero-length string

[Anonymous]

I am getting XTDE0820: Supplied element name is a zero-length string when i try to execute the <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">. Look like the element name does not allow to pass the parm. An Xslt i wote is works in XMLSpy but is it gives me bellow error message.

I wrote the xslt that extract the payload from the SOAP Message and remove the namespace from all elements.

This is quite the wrong place to post requests for Saxon help. Please in future use the saxon-help mailing list or forum. And please supply sufficient of your code to see what's going on.

The stack trace here suggests strongly that at the point of failure the context item is a text node, in which case local-name() will indeed be a zero-length string. My guess is that it worked on Altova because they use the Microsoft XML parser which (unlike every other parser) strips whitespace-only text nodes by default.

This is not related to white-space issue, it is related to can't pass the parameter to Element name. i did send the detail information to saxon-help mail. If you need anymore info please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your help!
