Hi,
I am trying to process 2 xml documents at the same time in xslt. I get one of the documents by specifying the scenario.I try to create a variable for the other document and manipulate it and here is my situation.

I am creating a variable to refer to the document

e.g.,

<xsl:variable name="master" select="document('C:\Documents\op.xml')"/>

I try to apply templates in the following manner:

<xsl:apply-templates select="$master/foaf:Person/foaf:name">

Now I have a problem when I try to specify the pattern for the template match attribute. since I cannot use the variable name inside the match pattern, I tried to create a key and use it.

<xsl:key name="x" match="/foaf:Person/foaf:name" use="@*"/>

I try to get all the <foaf:name> tags.

now how do I mention the pattern in <xsl:template match="?">, to scan through all the foaf:name in the document.

Thanks
Arvind

Hi Arvind,
the match attribute of a template only looks at nodes, it doesn't care where that node comes from. So a simple <xsl:template match="foaf:name"> should be enough.
