Document function (was Getting an error with a variabl

Thanks Colin

I looked into the document function and got it working. The xml file will
always be the same, so no need to pass the url in a parameter. This is a
snippet of code. Am I on the right track or is there a more efficient way?

  <xsl:for-each
select="/legs/competition/leg/Competitor[../../@name=$paramVal1]">
  <tr>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="@no"/></td>
	<xsl:variable name="cNum">
	    <xsl:value-of select="@no"/>
	</xsl:variable>
    <td><xsl:value-of
select="document('EntryList.xml')/entrylist/competition/entry/@driverSurname
[../@no=$cNum]"/>
    <td><xsl:value-of
select="document('EntryList.xml')/entrylist/competition/entry/@coDriverSurna
me[../@no=$cNum]"/>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="@stageTime"/>&#160;</td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="@penaltyTime"/>&#160;</td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="@totalTime"/>&#160;</td>

Thanks
Garry

You could pass the URI of the second file as a stylesheet parameter.
Then use the document() function.
