you can store the source document in a variable before your apply-template.
you can then refer to elements from the source xml through this variable
I think this should work

Subject: [xsl] Accessing the source nodetree while in another context
Hi All,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to access the source nodetree while
within another nodetree context? Here's a simple example -
...
<xsl:variable name="mydoc" select="document('mydoc.xml')"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$mydoc//*"/>
...
While the apply-templates is run, the context for the current node is set
to
$mydoc and any templates that are executed use that. If I want to access
the
nodetree for the source document on which the transform was run, is there
a
simple syntax to specify it? I see how I could do this if I used an
xsl:for
as I could copy part of the source nodetree into a variable and just
access
the variable, but it seems like if I want to use templates, they are going
to be in a global scope and I won't be able to access my variable as it
isn't in the same scope. Therefore, I would need some syntax to specify
the
source nodetree directly.
Thanks for any and all comments. Please let me know if I'm missing
something
simple :-).
