Subject: [xsl] selecting an element in an external doc using its id attribute From: Cindy Mazza <clm6u@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2002 17:21:18 -0400 |
Hi , The following code gets me the first div3 element w/in the odes document (as expected): <xsl:variable name="from" select="@from"/> <xsl:variable name="docnode" select="document('../texts/odes.xml')"/> <xsl:message> <xsl:value-of select="$docnode//div3"/> </xsl:message> But when I try to find an element whose id attribute is equal to the value of the 'from' variable, I get an error saying "Unexpected token [<function>] in path expression." <xsl:variable name="from" select="@from"/> <xsl:variable name="docnode" select="document('../texts/odes.xml')"/> <xsl:message> <xsl:value-of select="$docnode//id($from)"/> </xsl:message> Is it possible to do it this way, or do I need to go about it differently? Either way, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. ----- - Cindy Cynthia L. Mazza mailto:clm6u@xxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
