XSLT 2.0 has a function doc-available() to meet this requirement. In 1.0 you
will need to use extension functions.
It might help to use valid URIs - these always use forwards "/" characters,
never backslash.

Subject: Re: [xsl] check if document exists
I am having a similar problem in xslt 1.0 (MSXML).
We have a supplier ftp'ing some XML data but sometimes it
doesnt arrive and sometimes its invalid XML :(
Ive tried
<xsl:if test="msxsl:node-set(document('..\weather\weather.xml'))">
and
<xsl:if test="document('..\weather\weather.xml')">
but both throw errors and the template stops.
Is there any way I can test the validity of the document to
be imported and handle it gracefully?
Cheers
