I am trying to set a variable using the document function.
<xsl:variable name="teamStandings"
select="document('MLB_TEAM_STANDINGS.XML')"/>
and then I try to retrieve something out of the xml
<xsl:value-of select="$teamStandings/sports-statistics/date/@year"/>
and it returns nothing. If I do this,
<xsl:value-of
select="document('MLB_TEAM_STANDINGS.XML')/sports-statistics/date/@year"/>
it returns 2002. Is there something wrong with my syntax, or could it be in
the libxslt? I didn't see anything specifically in the bug fix list that
seemed to address this, but I could be wrong. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
