I came up with this. Use the id() method to select matching elements. There seems to sketchy support for id in current xsl implementations. XSL:P does handle it fine, i don't know about ie5. May someone can comment on the lack of mention of atrribute to attribute compares in the WD (see commented out code in my example. <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"> <xsl:id element="beverage" attribute="bev.id"/> <xsl:template match = "drink.doc"> <html> <title>Tales from the bar side</title> <body> <xsl:apply-templates select="drink.body"/> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match = "bar.quote"> <p> <xsl:apply-templates/> </p> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match = "drink.link"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates select="id(@bev.ref)" /> <!-- I don't know why the spec ommited this contruct. This might be useful if the id isn't unique and there are multiple matches (like drinks with whiskey). This syntax is probably off but you get the idea. <xsl:apply-templates select="[@bev.refs = /drink.doc/beverage.list/beverage@xxxxxx]" /> --> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> -----Original Message----- From: Rick Geimer [mailto:rick.geimer@xxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, March 14, 1999 9:15 AM To: XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Intra-document transclusion in IE5 Hello all, This is my first posting to this list. I've been using XSL for about two weeks now, and have run into a stumbling block with IE5's implementation. I'm trying to perform a "transclusion" (also called source and reflection for those who speak Pinnacles), where I take the contents of one element and and display it in the location of another element that references it. I've thought of several ways to do this with the full XSL spec, but IE5 barfs on all my ideas. Basically, I would like to take something like the following instance: <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet href="drinkdoc.xsl" type="text/xsl"?> <!DOCTYPE drink.doc [ <!ELEMENT drink.doc ( beverage.list, drink.body )> <!ELEMENT beverage.list ( beverage+ ) > <!ELEMENT beverage ( #PCDATA ) > <!ATTLIST beverage bev.id ID #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT drink.body ( bar.quote+ ) > <!ELEMENT bar.quote ( #PCDATA | drink.link )* > <!ELEMENT drink.link EMPTY > <!ATTLIST drink.link bev.ref IDREF #REQUIRED> ]> <drink.doc> <beverage.list> <beverage bev.id="drink1">beer</beverage> </beverage.list> <drink.body> <bar.quote>I could really use a <drink.link bev.ref="drink1"/> right now.</bar.quote> </drink.body> </drink.doc> And transform it into the following HTML for display: <html> <title>Tales from the bar side</title> <body> <p>I could really use a beer right now</p> </body> </html> Here is my straw-man XSL template as it stands: <xsl:template xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" xmlns:qxsl="quote:http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"> <html> <title>Tales from the bar side</title> <body> <xsl:apply-templates select="drink.doc/*"/> </body> </html> <xsl:define-template-set> <xsl:template match = "drink.doc"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match = "drink.body"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match = "bar.quote"> <p> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"> <xsl:template match="textnode()"><xsl:value-of/></xsl:template> </xsl:apply-templates> </p> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match = "drink.link"> <!-- What the heck do I put here to get the content of the beverage element whose bev.id attribute is equal to the current drink.link's bev.ref attribute? --> </xsl:template> </xsl:define-template-set> </xsl:template> I need to find some way to refer to the contents of the beverage element whose bev.id attribute matches the bev.ref attribute of the drink.link element. Any ideas how to make this work in IE5?
