Re: [Xsltforms-support] [PATCH] Adding extra XPath functions

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I was too quick to report "success!"...

I tested on different browsers, and
* on Chrome it is OK.

* On firefox it does not find the correct NS :-(
As an aid, i see that the xslt's result root node (the html element)
does not contain the 'local' NS.
I then tried the dummy attribute workaround but nothing.

* On IE7 it does not locate the extra function,
although the XPath expression seems OK,
and the function's namspace is correct.
It seems that the the registration code for the extra function does not work!

It needs more work, particularly on firefox....
