Namespace 'http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions' doe

Thanks Mukul.
I did try
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2006/xpath-functions">
.........
		<xsl:if test="fn:doc-available($url)"><br /> da file
does not exists</xsl:if>
..........

 but IE says Namespace
'http://www.w3.org/2006/xpath-functions' does not
contain any functions.(tried both 2006 and 2005 in the
fn namespace declaration)
Firefox says "Error during XSLT transformation: An
unknown XPath extension function was called."

Am I missing something in the headers or should I just
wait until the Candidate recommendation is implemented
by most tool vendors?
If so, is there an immediate solution for this (to
check if a file exists)?
Thanks again,
-Tulaky

With XSLT 2.0, you can use the doc-available(string?
$uri) function.
