Subject: XPointer support in document() ? From: "Dave Carlson" <dcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2000 11:32:15 -0600 |
Have any of the XSLT processors implemented a tentative support for XPointer in the document() function? Or, do they minimally support an ID fragment? If my source document contains: <Product href="catalog.xml#xpointer(//foo/bar)"/> Then, the XSLT should allow me to pass this entire href URI to the document function, and return a node-set of the xpointer results. Is this correct? So, this XSLT should process the "bar" elements: <xsl:for-each select="document(@href)"> I assume that no processors support this currently. But, do they support a simplified subset where the short-hand xpointer is just the element ID: <Product href="catalog.xml#p127"/> Where, "p127" is an ID attribute of an element in catalog.xml. The document() function would then return the single node whose ID equals p127. It appears that all XSLT processors return the root element of the URI document and ignore the URI fragment. Thanks!
