Thanks Mike, its working great. Only thing I got to figure out is that a namespace is being thrown in. <instrument type="BreadCrumb" id="PageBreadCrumb" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <Breadcrumb> <Topic title="Home" link="/"> <Topic title="Services" link="/services"> <Topic title="Content Management" link="/services/content-management" /> </Topic> </Topic> </Breadcrumb> </instrument> -----Original Message----- From: Mike Trotman [mailto:mike.trotman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, July 04, 2004 1:58 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Merging Document Problem Using XSLT - the <xsl:copy/> and <xsl:copy-of/> elements should give you what you need. So - using XSLT; Assuming you are processing DocumentB.xml as current document - the following will construct you're combined <theater> element. <xsl:template match='theater'> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select='@*'/> <!-- this copies any attributes on <theater> - although you currently have none --> <xsl:copy-of select='instrument'/> <instruments> <xsl:copy-of select='document("Breadcrumb.xml")/ensemble/theater/instrument'/> </instruments> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> John Hamman wrote: >Thanks Michael, >I don't see anything that begin with XML or at least it shouldn't. >And I just want to copy/merge the document that is below (breadcrumb.xml) >To another xml document so that it's a DIRECT copy.
