What do you mean by 'source document'? Are you trying to get at a node in the input document or in some auxiliary document? Rich -----Original Message----- From: Adam van den Hoven [mailto:list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 2:55 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I'm using the XLink model so my hrefs are URIs. In the example I gave, it's a fragment identifier which should be expanded relative to the source document (I understand xpointer to allow this). I'm assuming that '#someval' is still a shortcut which points to some element with an id value of 'someval'. >From http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#function-document: If the URI reference does not contain a fragment identifier, then a node-set containing just the root node of the document is returned. If the URI reference does contain a fragment identifier, the function returns a node-set containing the nodes in the tree identified by the fragment identifier of the URI reference. This suggests to me that if I use <xsl:apply-templates select="document('#id2')" />, I should get the node of the source document which has an id attribute equal to 'id2'. In the same way, it suggests that if I use <xsl:apply-templates select="document('somefile.xml#id2')" />, I should get the node whose id is 'id2' in 'somefile.xml' which is a sibling to the source document. So my question is assuming that there is a node with an id (in this case an id attribute) with a value of 'id2' in my source document can I reasonably expect the following to be equivalent: <xsl:apply-templates select="document('#id2')" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="//*[@id='id2']" /> And the following to be true: generate-id(document('#id2')) = generate-id(//*[@id='id2']) Before I go and start telling excelon that they seem to have a bug in their product, I want to make sure I'm right in my assumption (if not, I'm going to have to re-evaluate how I do things).
