(I want to check for the existence of the file for my >hyperlinks and only create the link if the file is actually there.) The XSLT spec intentionally avoids I/O issues to leave as much flexibility to the XSLT implementation. So, it depends on which XSLT processor you're using. If it doesn't offer this exact feature, it may offer a simple way to call the appropriate function in another language (e.g. Java) to check for the target file's existence.
