If you want to apply templates to all nodes in <data> that have a counterpart in <foo_test>, you can use: <xsl:apply-templates select="data/foo[. = $foo_test/foo_test/foo]"/> > > Resulting in a match on: > foo = 3; and foo = 4 Where did you get foo = 4 from? > > > Now, let do the reverse of this and match on all $foot_test foo > elements so we have: > <xsl:apply-templates select="$foo_test//foo" mode="my_external_foo"/> > > And we have the template: > <xsl:template match="foo" mode="my_external_foo"> > <!-- AT THIS POINT.. > HOW DO WE REFER BACK TO MAIN XML SOURCE??? --> Assign a global variable to the "main XML source" using <xsl:variable name="root" select="/"/> Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
