Hello Michael,
I believe that you and David are right, BUT how can I make the value of an
attribute @href a node-set?
I have <a href="folder/foo.html"> and want to read data from that external
file. I save the url to a variable by using <xsl:variable name="bar"
select="@href"/>. So $bar is still just a string. When I provide this to the
document function by document($bar,/) i suppose it will not magically become
a nodeset.
Could you please give an example on that?
Thanks in advance,
Robert
Thanks for your quick reply. But the way you describe it, can
not work,
because the document function needs a string to tell which document to
access. I tried it out and i didn't work.
David is right (as always, except when he's typing too fast). If the
argument to the document() function is a node-set, any relative URIs in
the
values of those nodes are interpreted relative to to the base URI of the
node that contains them.
If you want more control than this, you can use the second argument of the
document function to supply a base URI, but this is very rarely needed.
