Okay, I got that.
Now I am having trouble... I need to select from this external doc the value
of one of the nodes. So, I'm within the context of another template, and
from this template there is an attribute @Name, who's value will match one
of the values from the external doc. I'm trying to get the @Text value from
the external doc where the @Name matches in both. So:
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<tr>
<td><!-- lookup text for display in xml template -->
<xsl:value-of select="$xmTmplt/[(_at_)name=name()]/text"/>
</td>
... doesn't work : (
Here is my variable decleration, which I've tested and it works:
<xsl:variable name='xmTmplt'
select="document('usr_member.xml')/FLDS/FLD"/>

Karl,
I didn't notice the copy-of that you have in the variable. Try the
following to yield a nodeset that you can apply a for-each to.
<xsl:variable name="xmTmplt"select="document('usr_member.xml')//FLDS"/>

I am reading an external xml document into a variable at the very top of

stylesheet (is this legal?)... later I loop through this document.. but I
don't know how to access the variable in a select statement (it doesn't
like
the $ in the select statement). Here's the code:
<xsl:variable name="xmTmplt"><xsl:copy-of
select="document('usr_member.xml')//FLDS"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:template name="TEMP">
<hr/>
<xsl:for-each select="xmTmplt/FLD">
<xsl:text>testing..</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
<hr/>
</xsl:template>
Should yield:
testing..testing..testing..testing..testing..testing..
Thanks,
