2    cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'xsl:stylesheet'.    content.xsl    Dig/WebRoot/xsl    line 2    August 17, 2004 8:29:06 AM

All of my XSL files produce that error on this line

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

If I create a new file and copy paste the contents, the error disappears, but I have 40 of these files and would like to find a quicker way of removing the errors. Refresh doesn’t do it……

If you right click and validate individual XSL files, does the problem disappear? What about creating a new XSL file, right clicking and validating it, does it report any errors?

You can make sure validation is on and try and rebuild your project… did that help?

[Mahoney266]

Any word on this problem? I have it too – and yes, validation is on and I have rebuilt my project and I have tried right clicking and validating individual files.

Incidentally, when right-clicking and going to New, should XSL appear as an option for a new file to be created? I don’t get any type ahead help with the XSL namespace elements, either. Be helpful if there was a little mention of XSL in the help texts.

Mahoney can you email the file you are having trouble with to support@genuitec.com so we can see whats going on? Post never replied, so I don’t know if his problem is fixed…

Robert,
In response to your email and your attachment, this is what happened when I loaded up the XSL file (it worked as expected):

[siderean]

I am using a fresh install of Eclipse 3.0.1, MyEclipse 3.8.2 (build id: 200409171200-3.8.2) with JSDK 1.4.2_03 on Windows XP.

I also have a problem with any XML files in my projects which declare a namespace (as the stylesheet element does in the XML file above). I create a test file with the xml below and the error appears on the second line:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<xml-body xmlns:foo=”http:mystite/foonamespace”>
<foo:test/>
</xml-body>

If I run the validator manually, I get a dialog saying:
“The XML file is not valid. See the Tasks view for a list of the validation errors.”

You actually need to go to the Problems view and the error is:
cvc-elt-1: Cannot find the declaration of element ‘xml-body’.

[siderean]

And it even fails with a correct URL in the namespace declaration:
<xml-body xmlns:foo=”http://mystite/foonamespace”&gt;

Gee, I have to learn to copy/paste my example files 🙂

siderean,
Yes this is currently an issue that is filed that we are tracking. Sorry for the inconvenience, I just think the Editor doesn’t know how to read a namespace out of the root element.

[Mahoney266]

Not sure quite what to say – I’m afraid I still get the “cvc-elt-1: Cannot find the declaration of element ‘xsl:stylesheet'” error. But it looks as if this is now a known issue?

On the type ahead – looking at yours I notice all it offers in terms of elements are ones already in the xsl file. Perhaps this is a feature add request, but if I type in <xsl I really expect to be offered all valid tags for the xsl namespace in the type ahead, not just ones I’ve already used in the document.

Thanks,
Rob

I am not able to find a way to resolve the error when I validate the XSL file. I am getting the error at this line in the XSL file:

<xsl:stylesheet version=”1.0″ xmlns:xsl=”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”&gt; –>

[SaliniPanchumarthi]

I tried replies given by you, none of them work to validate the XSL file

[Scott Anderson]

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> -->

Is the line really commented out as it is in your example? Note the ending close comment
