XPath:&lt;xsl:value-of select="/Task/MasterPerson/FName"/&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p>The problem I'm having listing out the namespaces is that some of them overlap based on the tag-level context, so that could be the resulting problem. Evidently yesterday I was using a different source XML (argh) or just a different object set altogether. (Either way, if the source changes it shouldn't blow up the XSLT like this.)</p> <p>Right now I'm relegated to using the local-name() approach throughout, but really would like to figure this out.</p>

    1. COYour XML doesn't have a complete element, so I can't load it. If I close the open elements, I don't get any results with Xalan even if I remove the namespace elements, because there's no `MasterPerson` in your example.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
