If I have the following xml
<root>
<message id="foo.msg"/>
</root>
and I want to be able to lookup the message id in another xml file from with my xsl file, how do I accomplish this with XPATH?
<messages>
<message id="foo.error" value="Hello Foo" />
<message id="bar.msg" value="Hello Bar" />
</messages>
I'm thought that the fragment would look something like
<xsl:template match="message">
<xsl:value-of select="document('messages.xml')/message/message/@id='@id'
</xsl:template>
What I would like to return is the "value" element.
Thanks,
Jay
