Re: [xsl] after use of document(): selecting parts of the obtainednode-set

[Chuck White <chuckwh at pacbell dot net>]

Could be a couple things. One, it should be:
document('itn.xml')

Note the single quotes.
Without the quotes, the XSLT processor thinks your argument is a node-set,
not a string value of the resource.

And logo is a child of itn, so it should be:

<xsl:apply-templates select="$itn/itn/logo" />
