My problem is that I need to look up a value in another external XML file during XSLT processing, to include in the generated output. I can read in the external file with the following lines <xsl:param name="packtypefile" select="packtype.xml" /> <!-- Load the packtypes from the external file --> <xsl:variable name="packtypetree" select="document(packtypefile)" saxon:trace="yes"/> which is rather small and looks like <ROWSET><!-- Warning: This is not using approved tag names! Beware--> <ROW><id>0</id><packcode></packcode><ordertxt>%d</ordertxt><ssmtxt>%d</ssmtxt><modultxt>price each</modultxt></ROW> <ROW><id>1</id><packcode>KT</packcode><ordertxt>1 Kit of %d</ordertxt><ssmtxt>1 kit</ssmtxt><modultxt>price per kit</modultxt></ROW> <ROW><id>2</id><packcode>BAG</packcode><ordertxt>1 Bag of %d</ordertxt><ssmtxt>1 bag</ssmtxt><modultxt>price per bag</modultxt></ROW> ... During the XSLT processing, I have the packcode as a subnode of the current node, and I need the corresponding value of the <modultxt> tag for output. I have done a lot of trial-and-error, and have given up on the following <!-- First look up the packtype --> <xsl:apply-templates select="$packtypetree//ROW[packcode='GREEL']" mode="preview"/> to get "into" the node-set of $packtypetree, but without visible results. I would appreciate a nudge in the right direction. Am I on the right track? Thanks in advance. -- Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen "... plus ... Tubular Bells!"
