Hello

I'm using c# XmlDocument class to add new XHTML-Nodes to my website.
Unfortunately XmlDocument always adds an unwanted empty namespace attribute
xmlns="" to every new Element.
These empty namespace attributes cause that the elements are'nt found any
more when I'm reparsing the document. (When I delete them by hand everything
works fine).
This is really stupid. DotNet XML-classes aren't very useful for me if I
can't affect their behaviour.
XmlSerializer seems to have the same problem.

Isn't there any hack to bypass the blank namespaces???

Thank you
Sincerely
Lore

{
   string tmp = ToXHTML(txtEntry.Text);
   XmlText textNode = doc.CreateTextNode(tmp);

XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("//xl:div[@ id='content']",
namespaceManager);
if(node != null)
node.AppendChild(paragraph);
