Ok, right idea but it's not working for me.

This works:

      <xsl:include
href="../../blah/blah/includes_xsl/replace_string.xsl" />

but this doesn't:

     <xsl:include
href="http://myserver.com/includes_xsl/replace_string.xsl" />

That one produces this error in the browser:
========================
msxml4.dll error '80004005'

Error while parsing
"http://myserver.com/includes_xsl/replace_string.xsl". No data is
available for the requested resource
========================

I've verified that the http path is correct - anyone know that doesn't
work?

Thanks.

One way is to have a directory called common, under the document root.

The you can xsl:include/import from
http://localhost/common/my-common.xsl.
That works for server-side transformations only.
