Hi Nilesh,

As far as I know, Xalan doesn't yet support XPointer when using the document() function. In fact, I don't know of any XSLT processor that does support XPointer (libxslt and 4XSLT might do, since libxml has an XPointer implementation and 4Suite has 4XPointer, but I couldn't get them to work). I did also find:
- http://www.cs.unibo.it/projects/xslt%2B%2B/
which might be interesting to you.
If you're just dealing with XPointers that look like XPaths, you could try splitting value of the href attribute and using Xalan's evaluate() extension function on the pointer. Something like:
<xsl:for-each select="document(substring-before(@href, '#'))"> <xsl:variable name="path" select="substring-before(substring-after(@href, '#xpointer('), ')')" /> <xsl:value-of select="xalan:evaluate($path)" /> </xsl:for-each>
Hopefully once XPointer reaches Recommendation, more processors will start to support it.
Cheers,
Jeni
