*If* you have properly declared the id attributes, for my example they are

Yes and I had the references defined as IDREFS #IMPLIED as well.
then you should be able to say:
<xsl:for-each select="id(@references)/@id">
<xsl:if test="position()>1"> </xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
A slight twist on this does what I wanted, which was to go find the element
that has the ID:
<xsl:for-each select="id(@references)/@id">
<xsl:value-of select="id(.)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
This produces the content of the element with the assigned ID. Without it,
I just got the id value. I'm not sure why you have the position test, can
you explain that?
With my original code with added context:
<xsl:templete match='foo'>
<xsl:for-each select="id(@references)">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
It didn't loop for one problem, so there was only a single output, instead
of two values as I expected. The output was just the same value as my
@references content.
In my original code I had this as well, trying to get to the content of the
element referenced, but nothing was being output, so I used the current
value just to see if anything was being looked up.
<xsl:value-of select="id(.)"/>
and it would report a space-separated list of unique token values (rather
than just @references since that might have duplicates).
If you don't have a declaration of the attribute type, then id() has
nothing to look up and will always return an empty node set.
Yep, had that problem covered.
I hope this helps, Dan.
Yes, once again you have come to the rescue. I sort of see why adding the
/@id to the for-each select worked, but I don't know why mine didn't work
or like you said didn't give me all the content.
