Looks like now I am trying to use the tokenize function, but it

You are misinterpreting the evidence.
When I ran the XSLT, it tells me this: F Cannot select a node here:
the context item is an atomic value, with the errors pointing to the
line where it says id(.).
Exactly. The value of "." is a string. The id() function works on
the ID table created for a given tree. When you do not supply a
second argument to id(), the tree assumed is that of the current
node. There is no tree associated with an atomic value. You need to
supply a second argument with a node in the tree from which you wish
to draw your ID values.
Here is my XML:
<listItem>
<to_do xml:id="cheese">Cheddar Cheese</to_do>
</listItem>
<listItem>
<to_do xml:id="beef">Chuck Steak</to_do>
</listItem>
<listItem>
<to_do xml:id="vegetables">Brocoli, Beans, Carrots</to_do>
</listItem>
<listItem>
<to_do xml:id="milk">Dean's Low Fat Milk 2%</to_do>
</listItem>
<do>
<date>2007-11-14</date>
<list>milk cheese vegetables beef</list>
<limit_price>20</limit_price>
<do>
Okay, I'm assuming both of the above are in the same file and not
separate files.
Current XSL:
<xsl:template name="do_list">
<xsl:variable name="do" select="list">
<xsl:variable name="item" select="tokenize($item, '\s+')"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$item">
<xsl:value-of select="id(.)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Some of the above is just wrong ... you cannot base a variable on a
variable of the same name.
I'm assuming you want:
<xsl:variable name="do" select="list"/>
<xsl:variable name="item" select="tokenize($do, '\s+')"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$item">
<xsl:value-of select="id(.,$do)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
I hope this helps.
