RE: document() path relative to current document

Hello Michael,

I believe that you and David are right, BUT how can I make the value of an
attribute @href a node-set?

I have <a href="folder/foo.html"> and want to read data from that external
file. I save the url to a variable by using <xsl:variable name="bar"
select="@href"/>. So $bar is still just a string. When I provide this to the
document function by document($bar,/) i suppose it will not magically become
a nodeset.

Could you please give an example on that?

Thanks in advance,

Robert
