RE: Accessing two XML files from XSL file

You can pass the URI of the second XML document into the transform and then
use doc-available() and doc() to access the second XML document. A rough
untested sketch:

Command line using saxon: -o out.xml first.xml xsl1.xsl "uri=second.xml"

<xsl:transform>
  <xsl:param name="uri" as="xsd:string?" />
  <xsl:template match="button">
    <button id="{id}" type="button"
style="position:fixed;top:{y}px;left:{x}px;">
      <xsl:value-of select="value" />
    </button>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="xml1/button" />
    <xsl:if test="doc-available($uri)">
      <xsl:variable name="doc" as="document-node()" select="doc($uri)" />
      <xsl:apply-templates select="$doc/xml2/button" />
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>


Hope this helps, Andy.
