I do the same, commenting that this file was generated by the concatination of aaa.xml + bbb.xsl. However I enable this from within my publishing environment, by inserting that info (and more) as attributes in the root node of my XML just before parsing. I also use this method for complicated linking syntax when telling pages where they live in context... (a path= & basehref=) This is handy, 'coz I can then do anything I like with the meta-info, but is messy, because it's specific to my hand-made implimentation. Degrades quietly tho' It could be that this functionality is conceptually wrong though, To pass on what I learnt from Stefano a few weeks ago (not a quote, this is the understanding I ended up with) It's not fully correct to treat the data object as a file with an URL once it's been parsed into a DOM or other data structure. Asking for its file name during processing is (at a theoretical level) unsupported. I haven't found a way to break my head out of the old patterns of thought though, and will continue to do what it takes to get the job done. :-} Still looking for XLink to solve half of these problems in a more elegant way though (yeah right). Um sorry, no answer. .dan. :=====================:====================: : Dan Morrison : The Web Limited : : http://here.is/dan : http://web.co.nz : : dman@xxxxxxxx : danm@xxxxxxxxx : : 04 384 1472 : 04 495 8250 : : 025 207 1140 : : :.....................:....................: : If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy? :.........................................: XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
