XSLT 2.0 would allow you to write
href="{resolve-uri('ReportStyle.css')}"
But of course that doesn't help very much because you need a solution that
works in IE. Unfortunately I don't think it's possible: although the base
URI of a stylesheet instruction is part of the context in 1.0, it's
accessible only through the document() function.

Subject: [xsl] Is there a neat way to get style-sheet relative paths?
Hello everyone,
for display on an IE 6.0 I want to use this directory structure:
somepath/data/DataFiles.xml
for xml files containing the data and
somepath/style/StyleFiles.xsl
for the style info to be used.
The explorer knows about the stylesheet to be used by finding a
<?xml-stylesheet type="xsl/text" href="../style/StyleFiles.xsl"?>
line in the xml data files. So far, so good. Unfortunately
some info is
contained in a css-file and there are image files to load as
well, which are
located in the style directory. (I did not want to use css,
but I could not
find another way to produce an output media dependent style,
among other
things, and I am open to suggestions!) This is how I
reference the css:
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
...
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ReportStyle.css" />
</head>
Obviously this is referenced after the html is generated and therefore
refers to the then current directory. I don't want to carry
the relative
path info into the xml-file, other than in the stylesheet
reference above,
unless I have to. So, is there a way to somehow use the
stylesheet-path, so
that the href for the css and image includes look in the stylesheet
directory rather than the data directory? I have found a way
to include
other xml files located in the style directory by doing
<xsl:variable name="Lang" select="document( $fn,
document(''))/Terms" />
but I couldn't figure out if there is way to use this for css
and image
files as well.
Cheers
