(Or one is in a NS and one is not.) I think that's what George is getting at, i.e. <foo xmlns:ns1="a" xmlns:ns2="b" ns1:bar="x" ns2:bar="y" /> You can have two "bar" attributes, as ns1 is "a" and ns2 is "b", so they are distinct. -adam -- adam@trachtenberg.com | http://www.trachtenberg.com author of o'reilly's "upgrading to php 5" and "php cookbook" avoid the holiday rush, buy your copies today! -- PHP Soap Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
