Hi all,
    I want to access one XML which has a xpath of another XML where I

You need to look for an extension in your processor such as xx:eval() or xx:evaluate(), for example saxon:evaluate(), which allows you to evaluate a dynamically-obtained XPath expression.

test.xml

<button>
<id>btn1</id>
<x>225</x>
<y>450</y>
<paths>document('a.xml')/catalog/title</paths>
</button>

a.xml

<catalog>
<title>History</title>
<year>1987</year>
<catalog>

My target XSL which produces output correctly

    <xsl:for-each select="button">
    <button id="{id}" type="button"
style="position:fixed;top:{y}px;left:{x}px;">
    <xsl:value-of select="document('a.xml')/catalog/title"/>
    </button>
    </xsl:for-each>

My current XSL which gives wrong output which is the path as the value
of the button


    <xsl:for-each select="button">
    <button id="{id}" type="button"
style="position:fixed;top:{y}px;left:{x}px;">
    <xsl:value-of select="path"/>
    </button>
    </xsl:for-each>

How can I achieve my target?Any ideas are welcome.Thank you.
