Hi ,


The following code gets me the first div3 element w/in the odes document
(as expected):

        <xsl:variable name="from" select="@from"/>
        <xsl:variable name="docnode" select="document('../texts/odes.xml')"/>
        <xsl:message>
          <xsl:value-of select="$docnode//div3"/>
        </xsl:message>

But when I try to find an element whose id attribute is equal to the
value of the 'from' variable, I get an error saying "Unexpected token
[<function>] in path expression."

        <xsl:variable name="from" select="@from"/>
        <xsl:variable name="docnode" select="document('../texts/odes.xml')"/>
        <xsl:message>
          <xsl:value-of select="$docnode//id($from)"/>
        </xsl:message>

Is it possible to do it this way, or do I need to go about it
differently? Either way, I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.
