[xsl] cross-ref

[Bas Alberts <bas.alberts@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

If I want to find the attribute value of a cross-ref element in another
document, based on matching another attribute of the same element, thus:

Match /elementName/@refAttr
with $otherDoc//elementName/@refAttr
to find $otherDoc//elementName/@desiredAttr

the following is my best guess:

<xsl:variable name="matchValue" select="/xxx/elementName/category" />
<xsl:variable name="otherDoc" select="document('other.xml')"/>

<!-- Now find the (desiredAttr) of (elementName)s with matchinf (refAttr)s.
-->
<xsl:variable name="crossRef" select="$otherDoc//elementName[@refAttr =
$matchValue]/@desiredAttr"/>

But I get an empty result set.
Any ideas where I went wrong?
