 Hi,
I want to use document function in a template rule like below in which
primary XML and referenced XML through document() function may be entirely
different:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-template select="document('Tes.xml')" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="document(Tes.xml)"> // Browser throws error at
this point.
<span>TEST</span>
</xsl:template>
My question is, why can't I use document function in the template rule or is
there any alternative to such a problem.
A typical example would be as follows:
--->doc1.xml
<books>
<book>
<author>Graddy Booch</author>
<title>UML User Guide</title>
</book>
<book>
<author>Gamma</author>
<title>Design Patterns</title>
</book>
</books>
---> doc2.xml
<readers>
<reader>
<name>naren</name>
<occupation>Software Engineer</occupation>
</reader>
</readers>
---->doc.xsl
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="windows-1252"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<span>
<xsl:for-each select="books/book/author">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
<br />
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="document('doc2.xml')" />
</span>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="document('doc2.xml')"> // Browser gives an error to
this
<span>Test</span>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Any help would be great.
