I use the document function to load a document from within a stylesheet, and store the resulting nodeset in a variable:

<xsl:variable name="itn" select="document(itn.xml)" />

Now I'd like to access certain parts of this nodeset, like this:

<xsl:template>

...

<xsl:apply-templates select="$itn/logo" />

...

</xsl:template>

and for the sub-nodeset $itn/logo I have the following template:

<xsl:template match="itn/logo">
        extract data
</xsl>

Unfortunately, whenever I try this combination, the result of my <xsl:apply-templates select="$itn/logo"> is empty. The same is true when I do a select like <xsl:apply-templates select="$itn//logo">.

Maybe I haven't understood the functionality of document() or how to access parts of a node set that is returned by document()? Can someone help me, please?

Cheers,
Wendell
