Hi folks, I have a question about the xslt function document(). What I want to do is : 1) access to an external xml document 2) read some data from the external xml document 3) access to the input xml document. Let's say we have the documents : - input.xml : input document - style.xslt : XSLT file - external.xml : external xml document I will run the command line : java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN input.xml -XSL style.xslt -OUT out.xml about 1) and 2) I know how to access to external.xml using the function document('external.xml') About 3) I need your help guys . I want to access to the input.xml document but I do NOT want to call the function document('input.xml'). Do you know if exists a parameter for the function document() that let me know to access to the input document avoiding an explicit call document('input.xml') ? I hope is is enough clear my question. Thanks, Giovanni Leonetti

You do not need the document function to access input.xml as it is the primary source document so you can access it with your XPath expressions e.g. <xsl:variable name="main-root" select="/"/> Then you can always use that variable $main-root if your context node is part of a different document (e.g. external.xml). -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
Thanks Martin. Now I can switch to the primary source document easily. Giovanni Leonetti
