[xsl] reading link value from external xml file with variable

[Jarkko.Moilanen@xxxxxx]

Hi!

I have a situation which I encountered this morning 
and I got stuck with it. 

I have a main xslt file into which I import other xslt files and
data from several xml files. 

The problem is generic linkvalue in the result html file.
In the main xslt file i have:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
	
	<xsl:import href="Sort_Notunsigned.xml" />
	<xsl:import href="recent.xsl" />
	<xsl:import href="statistics.xsl" />
	<xsl:import href="viewcommands.xsl" />
	<xsl:import href="sortcommands.xsl" />

Here the line where I import Sort_Notunsigned.xml contains
lines like this:

   <sortbydateasc>/cbroker/XMLServ/XMLHan?command=list&amp;
   period={/XDocList/@view}&amp;count={/XDocList/@offset}&amp;
   orderby=date&amp;status=1
   </sortbydateasc>

As you can see, it is a linkvalue /command to be sended on click

The value of <sortbydateasc> is called by a variable in 
sortcommands.xsl (which is imported to main xslt)like this:

<xsl:variable name="dateasc">  		
<xsl:value-of
select="document('commands.xml')/xslt/notunsigned/sorting/sortbydateasc"/>
</xsl:variable>

No the problem is obvious. When the value comes from xml file, 
the part where it should get {/XDocList/@view} from the input xml file, 
it does not do it. Same thing with {/XDocList/@offset}. 

I think it would be possible to do it if the commands.xml would be 
commands.xsl?

Reason why I have separated the transformation into several 
files, is that I want to make it easier to maintain and 
change the commmand values in one place and have the affect
in several places.

Cheers
Jarkko
