I am trying to find the best way to include static files (containing xhtml) into my XSLT. I first thought of using entities, but these include files have to be separate files, as they will be used by 3 different applications and entities used in an XSLT have to be declared locally in that XSLT correct? Next, I thought of using document() and found from one of Jenni's excellent posts, a good way to do this. However, because the files I am including are not really XML, but xhtml (some of them do not have a containing element), I am running into problems there as well. The only other solution that I cam across is to use a Java extension function to simply dump the contents of the external files into their respective places within the XSLT, but then the complexity of the app goes up tremendously (for one of the apps, we would have a java app calling an XSLT calling a java app, which is just a pain in the arse). I guess I am looking for some advice or some words of wisdom from those who have crossed this bridge before me. I want to end up with a highly flexible, simple and elegant solution. FYI, the include files are a 1) header 2) footer 3) left-hand nav and 4) top nav TIA - Nate (I am a digester, so a cc to me with a direct reply to the list is appreciated!) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
