[xsl] Include problem...

["King Wilder" <king at gizmobeach dot com>]

I have an include question.

I'm building a Web application that has many forms.  More than one of the
forms requires pulldown menus with similar data such as a State menu on a
customer form.  I want to be able to use centrally located State menu XML
and XSL documents that are transformed and included in any other XSL
document.

My question is: is it possible to include and transform a state menu XML
document with a state menu XSL file and include the result into the customer
XSL and then any other XSL document?

An example of all the documents are below.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

This example is transformed via ASP.

===========================================
Customer information
===========================================

This is the Customer XML snippet.
Filename: customer.xml

<Customer>
	<FirstName>John</FirstName>
	<LastName>Smith</LastName>
	...
	<Address>123 Fourth St.</Address>
	<City>Los Angeles</City>
	<State>CA</State>
</Customer>

This is the Customer XSL.
Filename: customer.xsl

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<form name="myForm">
			First name:
			<xsl:element name="input">
				<xsl:attribute name="name">firstname</xsl:attribute>
				<xsl:attribute name="value">
					<xsl:value-of select="//FirstName"/>
				</xsl:attribute>
			</xsl:element>
			<br/>
			Last name:
			<xsl:element name="input">
				<xsl:attribute name="name">lastname</xsl:attribute>
				<xsl:attribute name="value">
					<xsl:value-of select="//Lastname"/>
				</xsl:attribute>
			</xsl:element>
			<br/>
			...

		</form>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

===========================================
End Customer information
===========================================

===========================================
Begin State menu info
===========================================

This is the State menu XSL.
Filename: statemenu.xsl

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:call-template name="statecombo"></xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template name="statecombo">
		<xsl:param name="selected-option-value">@value</xsl:param>
		<xsl:param name="control-name">state</xsl:param>
		<select size="1">
			<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of
select="$control-name"/></xsl:attribute>
			<xsl:for-each select="/statemenu/option">
				<option>
					<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of
select="@value"/></xsl:attribute>
					<xsl:if test="@value = $selected-option-value">
						<xsl:attribute name="selected">yes</xsl:attribute>
					</xsl:if>
					<xsl:value-of select="@description"/>
				</option>
			</xsl:for-each>
		</select>
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>



This is the State menu XML snippet.
Filename: statemenu.xml

<statemenu name="state" id="state">
<option value="AL" description="Alabama" />
<option value="AK" description="Alaska" />
<option value="AB" description="Alberta" />
<option value="AZ" description="Arizona" />
...
<option value="YT" description="Yukon" />
</statemenu>

===========================================
End State menu info
