Re: [Xsltforms-support] Namespace issue (not quite newbie)...

Thanks for getting back to me, Habs:
So a short illustrative example attached. This form works fine in
exist-db, and I've declared tei in the html header (although clearly
there is nothing prefixed with 'tei'), all good. But as soon as I try
and apply the tei namespace to the listPerson instance (I've tried
adding it everywhere), the form fields no longer render (and don't
appear to be loaded at all). I've tried adding the tei prefix to the
instance, the form fields and both at the same time, but still not got
anywhere yet...
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Cheers
Ralph
