Re: [xsl] How to process attributes of IDREFS

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

The id() function should certainly be working if the declarations are in 
place to let the parser know these are ID and IDREFS attributes.

See the XPath spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#section-Node-Set-Functions 
to find out the real deal. It does say that a whitespace-separated list of 
tokens in the value of a string argument will be split apart.

The trick, as always with id(), is to make sure the parser in front of your 
XSLT engine can see the attribute declarations, so the nodes are properly 
recognized as ID/IDREF.

So check those system identifiers. What processor are you using? There are 
processors out there that have bugs in this area.

Cheers,
Wendell
