Subject: [xsl] document() missing the document From: Bernd Gauweiler <bernd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 14:01:20 +0100 |
I'm trying to copy a node set from an external document, using <xsl:copy-of select="document('zorro.xml')/......"/>. This is part of a transformation that is being kicked off via the selectSingleNode / transformNode() javascript interface in IE. Works great, provided zorro.xml actually exists. If zorro.xml doesn't exist, or the server is down, IE6 produces a Javascript exception and the transformation fails. Is there a way to write the XSLT stylesheet so that zorro.xml is optional? In other words, for the transformation to succeed even if document() fails? I seems to me the XSLT standard says that document() can return an empty node set if the file doesn't exist, or produce an error (implementation-specific), and it seems MSXML implements the latter whilst I need the former. Any clues? TIA Bernd -- Bernd Gauweiler mailto:bernd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
