Hi all,
I'm wondering if there is a way to make a function returning an element (or a kind of "pointer" to an element) of a another document. Something like : <xsl:function name="my:get-node" as="item()*"> <xsl:param name="id"/> <xsl:copy-of select="document('foo.xml')/bar[@id='$id']"/> </xsl:function> The xsl:copy instruction will here copy the node wilthout his contexte, but I would like to be able to perform xpath test which need the context of this node within foo.xml, such as : <xsl:value-of select="count(my:get-node('123')/preceding-sibling::*)"/> I guess this is not possible, can someone confirm this ?
