Equation Derivation with derivatives

I have been doing equation substitution and derivation with derivative terms(e.g. dudx), what happens is that the dudx will be automatically evaluated as 0, threrefore any derivation with this term goes to zero, instead of keep it as a derivative.

Any ideas to resolve this?

Thanks, YC

In[1]:= D[u, x]

Out[1]= 0

In[2]:= D[u[x], x]

Out[2]= Derivative[1][u][x]

In[3]:= Dt[u, x]

Out[3]= Dt[u, x]
