Using paths that start with a '/' should work, because they always go
from the root node of the document that holds the current node. So if
those aren't working, then I think you must be changing the document
on which the XSLT stylesheet is working when the user clicks on the
icon.
You might therefore be able to get around this problem if you use the
document() function to access the original document, and create a path
that works relative to that, e.g.
document('workbooks.xml')/discoverer/account/eul
/workbook[@name = 'DISCADMIN.Cockpit']
Alternatively, if you know that you always want both icons to appear,
then why not remove the xsl:ifs altogether and just always insert both
icons?
Do send more details about what the links access and so on if the
above doesn't help.
Cheers,
Jeni
