Thanks for your work, but could you clarify it a little more? I tried dropping in your amended code above, but the best I could get was the child nodes without the XML tags (just the values).

Thanks for sharing. Though I got my head twisted a bit due to two bugs… line 30 should be

attrString += attr[b].localName()+”=’”+attr[b]+”‘ “; (you had attr[0] there and line 17 should be theXML = new XML(“”+ xml.text() +”"); to also remove namespaces from nodes with no child elements.

It only seems to affect nodes that are children of a node that had a namespace. It's like it add the xmlns="" to the subNodes in the XML... @Moto

Andy’s right. This is almost complete however the last node for every element gets the xmlns attribute added making it difficult to access and text in those nodes. I’m trying to figure it out… I’ll post if I do.
