XSLT and XPath questions would be better posted to the following list: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list There are a number of subscribers who would enthusiastically respond to such questions. There is also an *excellent* XSLT FAQ at: http://www.dpawson.co.uk At 2009-03-26 15:08 +0100, nico wrote: >I do not know the difference between doc() and document() and I do >not understand the meaning of that argument, but that "relative URI" >seems close to what you need ?? >I used that document() function in my XSLT and that works with relative paths. doc() returns one root node for one address supplied, while document() can return one or more root nodes if more than one address is supplied by an argument of a set of data nodes. When the argument to doc() is an absolute URI, the document at that URI is read as if it were an XML document, and the function returns the root node of the tree created. When the argument to doc() is a relative URI, the absolute URI is determined using the base URI of the instruction node. When the first argument of document() is an absolute URI, the second argument is ignored. When the first argument of document() is a data node with a relative URI value, the absolute URI is determined using the base URI of the node. When the first argument of document() is not a data node and the string value is a relative URI value, and the second argument is absent, the absolute URI is determined using the base URI of the instruction node. When the first argument of document() is not a data node and the string value is a relative URI value, and the second argument is a data node, the absolute URI is determined using the base URI of the second argument data node. I hope this helps. . . . . . . . .
