In XSLT 1.0 you can't use a function call on the rhs of "/". You need to use
xsl:for-each to set the context node for id():
<xsl:for-each select="document(..)">
<xsl:if test="id($jid) = 'footnote'>...

Subject: [xsl] error testing id() in external document
Using xsltproc (libxml), and thus inside an <xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0">, the following template generates an error:
<xsl:template match="jump[(_at_)srcfile]">
<xsl:variable name="jfil"
select="substring-before(@srcfile,'#')" />
<xsl:variable name="jid" select="substring-after(@srcfile,'#')" />
<!-- footnotes are an invalid external reference -->
<xsl:if test="local-name(document($jfil,/)/id($jid)) = 'footnote'">
<xsl:message terminate="yes">
<xsl:text>Footnote reference to external document (</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@srcfile" />
<xsl:text> found in </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$myfullself" />
</xsl:message>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
The error is:
XPath error : Invalid expression
xsl:if : could not compile test expression 'local-name(.. etc.
Is that really an invalid expression? Is there a valid
expression that will achieve the same thing?
Thanks
Trevor
