Hey everybody, I've got an issue that I can't figure out.

If I'm using this code:

NSString *XMLForDisplay {

NSXMLElement *root = [NSXMLNode elementWithName:@"root"];

[root addNamespace:[NSXMLNode namespaceWithName:@"a" stringValue:@"http://www.tempurl.com "]];

NSXMLElement *child = [NSXMLNode elementWithName:@"child" URI:@"http://www.tempurl.com "];

[child addChild:[NSXMLNode textWithStringValue:@"myText"]];

[root addChild:child];

return [root XMLStringWithOptions:NSXMLNodePrettyPrint];
}


I believe it should be outputting this text:

<root xmlns:a="http://www.tempurl.com";>
<a:child>myText</a:child>
</root>



<root xmlns:a="http://www.tempurl.com";>
<child>myText</child>
</root>

This is an issue, because I need that "a:" prefix.



Thanks for your time.

However, instead it outputs this text (note the lack of prefix on the child): The documentation for elementWithName:URI: states it's equivalent to <URI:name></URI:name>, which is exactly what I want, except that I can't get it to display that way.

The documentation says that you need to pass the qualified name in. So you need to do: NSXMLElement *child = [NSXMLNode elementWithName:@"a:child" URI:@"http://www.tempurl.com "];

You can look-up the prefix using NSXMLElement’s resolvePrefixForNamespaceURI: method although you probably don’t need to do that.
