XSL Crossref between 2 documents / srcfile and ID

[JCmayer]

Hello everybody

I am newbie in framemaker 15.

I'm lost....  and I need your help.

I have a problem to make a link between 2 document with xsl

I have an Xref element, for the external cross-references, where

DTD

<!ELEMENT Xref EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST Xref

  Format CDATA #IMPLIED

  srcfile CDATA #IMPLIED

>

RW

element "Xref "

  {

  is fm cross-reference element;

  attribute "Format" is fm property cross-reference format;

  }

in my document B.xml where is the Xref :

<Xref Format = "X_Text" srcfile = "A.xml#CHDJCICFE0"/>

in my document A.xml, where is the target:

<Abv ID = "CHDJCICFE0">Toto</Abv>

How i do in XSL, to select the content of the element Abv ---> Toto

How make with one attribute which has an "ID", and the other attribute which has a "srcfile"?

<xsl:template match="Xref">

      <A HREF="{@srcfile}" style="text-decoration:none;text-align:left;color:blue">

          <xsl:choose>

               <xsl:when test="@Format='X_Text'">

                     <xsl:value-of select="????????????????"/>

               </xsl:when>

          </xsl:choose>

     </A>

</xsl:template>

In advance, thank you very much

Assuming that documents A.xml and B.xml are in the same folder, something like this should work:

...

<xsl:when test="@Format='X_Text'">

  <xsl:variable name="document" select="substring-before(@srcfile,'#')"/>

  <xsl:variable name="refid" select="substring-after(@srcfile,'#')"/>

  <xsl:value-of select="document($document)//*[@ID=$refid]/text()"/>

...

Thank you very much Martti for your help.

Yes the documents are in the same folder.

But i have problem always.

I tested the variales name "document" and "refid" like this

<xsl:value-of select="$document"/>      OK it's good, result file "A.xml"

<xsl:value-of select="$refid"/>              OK it's good, result ID "CHDJCICFE0"

When I put "document($document) .............", nothing !

I tested alsoI "document('$document') .............", nothing !

Yes, i have the response....

With the variable document, I must do

<xsl:value-of select="document($document,/)//*[@ID=$refid]/text()"/>

Thank you very much again Martti for your help.
