DOM and XPathAPI using Namespaces

[Cory Isaacson <ci...@capita2.com>]

If I am creating a DOM using namespaces, and I want to later use the
XPathAPI to query it, do I need to manually add the 'xmlns' attribute to the
document element (or to any context node)? In Xerces there is a
'createElementNS' method which automatically creates an element using a
namespace, but I notice that when I use XPathAPI to later find nodes it
doesn't work, because the Prefix Resolver looks for 'xmlns'.

Thanks,

Cory

I tried adding the 'xmns' attribute and it does work, so I answered my own
question.

Thanks,
