    <p><strong>Update</strong> Thanks to florent I now realize I used the wrong term in the question (originally: 'What is the namespace of an XML document which does not have a namespace defined?').<br/> Also, I think now I am asking two questions:<br/> 1. can one assign a prefix to an XML document which does not have a prefix? (probably yes, but how does one do this with classic ASP?)<br/> 2. what is the XPath location path of a node in an XML document which does not have a prefix defined? If this is even possible.</p> <p><br /> I have classic ASP code which retrieves an XML document using the MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0 object, but the XML document does not have a prefix defined. I can't change the way the XML document is made.</p> <p>This is how the XML looks:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?&gt; &lt;SearchResultsResponse xmlns="http://openapi.somesite.com/openapi-3.0.0"&gt; [...] &lt;/SearchResultsResponse&gt; </code></pre> <p><br/> The document is automatically parsed and accessable trough the .responseXML property. But looking up nodes with:</p> <pre><code>Set objData = obj_http.responseXML.selectSingleNode("//someNodeName") Response.Write "Data: " &amp; objData.Text </code></pre> <p>doesn't work. (I get a 'Object Required' error message, meaning no node was found.) And</p> <pre><code>Response.Write obj_http.responseXML.documentElement.prefix </code></pre> <p>gives me an empty string.</p> <p><br/> One way to make this work is to use <code>.selectSingleNode("//*[local-name() = 'someNodeName']")</code>, but I guess this is not very efficient in larger XML documents. (Or am I wrong there?)</p> <p>I have read that something like: <code>.selectSingleNode("//ns:rootNodeName/ns:childNodeName")</code>, where 'ns' is the prefix defined, should be the way to go, but then what should I use for the prefix if none is defined?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
