Re: [xsl] xsl:include href - relative to document root?

["M. David Peterson" <m.david.x2x2x@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hardy,

You should be able to reference the root directory using the standard
slash notation for root.  In other words:

/common/foo.xsl

will always start at the root directory of your application in the same way:

../common/foo.xsl

will move up one directory and then access the foo.xsl from the child
'common' directory if it exists...

Your other option if for some reason this is causing your troubles
would be to run a build process in which you dynamically generate the
absolute path for the machine the files reside on using:

Server.MapPath("/common/foo.xsl")

or whatever the correct directory location from the root of the site
happens to be...
