[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: document() question
 At 99/09/16 07:10 -0700, I wrote: <!--note you cannot use document("")//Book[@id=$id]/*--> Actually, you can use that, what you cannot use is: document("")/id($id)/* ... because the id() function can only be used alone or at the start of a location path, not *in* a location path. When I did the global cut and paste of id($id) to be /Book[@id=$id], I didn't notice the comment had also changed. I've attached an example below of what I said couldn't be done. The document() function can be at the start of any valid location path. Sorry if this was misleading earlier. ............ Ken
