I am trying to allow the first document to supply a path to the second document. For example, all @menu elements from the first document have an attribute @id. That could be /complete/xpath/here. So the concatenation I'm looking for in that example is document('f1.xml')/complete/xpath/here, which does work when the xpath is not a variable. -g On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 9:20 PM, Tony Nassar <tnassar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > What are you actually trying to do? The document f1.xml has only one document element, so what is $id supposed to mean in document('f1.xml')/$id? If, alternately, you want an element with the same name as $id, that's *[local-name() eq $id] > > -----Original Message----- > From: Greg Fausak [mailto:lgfausak@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 7:17 PM > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: multiple input document question > > Hi, > > I'm wondering if there is any way to do the following: > > <xsl:template match="*[@menu]"> > <xsl:variable name="id" select="@id"/> > <xsl:for-each select="document('f1.xml')/$id"> > ... > > I've tried all sorts of combinations. > > I guess I can create an xslt output document > with the for-each statement selecting by the > value of the other document and just run > it through xslt twice.
