intra drink
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>

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?

Sincerely,
