RE: Writing a stylesheet to create another XML Documen

G'Day Jeni !

Thanks a million for all the help that you have provided ! I have
managed to get the merging of my XML files working.

Now, another question along the same lines.

What I am trying to do is access Author.xml/AuthorList/Author/Name by
using the following:
TutorialWithAuthorName.xsl
**************************
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
	<xsl:import href="Identity.xsl"/>

	<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

	<xsl:variable name="authors" select="document('Author.xml')" />

	<xsl:key name="authors" match="Author" use="@id" />

	<xsl:template match="Author">
		<xsl:variable name="id" select="@id" />
		<xsl:for-each select="$authors">
			<xsl:copy-of select="key('authors', $id)" />
		</xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:template>

	<!-- Beginning of EXTRA STUFF -->

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:for-each select="Tutorial/AuthorList/Author" >
			<xsl:value-of select="Name" />
		</xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:template>

	<!-- End of EXTRA STUFF -->
</xsl:stylesheet>
**************************

However, in VS.NET which uses MSXML 3.0, there is no output at all if
the "EXTRA STUFF" is there in the stylesheet, else all works out well.


As always, TAM...IA (Thanx a million .... in advance)

Sorry, I accidentlly missed off a $ -- in the template, you need to
access the value of the $authors global variable:

<xsl:template match="Author">
  <xsl:variable name="id" select="@id" />
  <xsl:copy-of select="$authors[@id = $id]" />
</xsl:template>

Cheers,

Jeni
