Hi,
I saw today several times the following construct:
<xsl:variable name="foo" select="document('http://remoteserver/file.xml')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$foo/path/to/some/nodes"/>
Is ecause the XSLT engine used has some limitations? different
interpretation of the recommendations? if some engines cannot ru e
example below, it would be interest to know which ones.
On XT you can do:
<xsl:variable name="foo"
select="document('< REF="http://remoteserver/file.xml">http://remoteserver/file.xml')/path/to/some/nodes"/>
My own interpretation of the ommendations is that the last construct is
OK since document() is an Xpath function and can therefore be part of a
step. So, first step (i.e. document() ) parses and build a node set,
tThen all the other subsequent steps navigate into this node set used, as well, the following construct in XT:
<xsl:apply-template
select="document('http://www.netf r.com
