Hello Rich,

your stylesheet looks really good. Only some little changes according the variable usage: A variable is more or less useless, if you can't use it multiple times.


========================= mergeXML.xsl ===============================
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"

Really version="2.0"? Only Saxon supports the Working Draft version of XSLT and XPath 2.0.


     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="/invoice-xml-files">
    <xsl:variable name="TA-Parties" select="document(@bill-to)/TRANSACTION_PARTIES/TRANSACTION_PARTY"/>

I suggest to declare the node set once. Look at the further changes.


    <html>
        <head>
            <title>
                This is driving me out of my mind!!!!
            </title>
        </head>
        <body>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="document(@invoice-header)/INVOICES/INVOICE">
              <xsl:with-param name="TA-Parties" select="$TA-Parties"/>
            </xsl:apply-templates>
         </body>
    </html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="INVOICES/INVOICE">
    <xsl:param name="TA-Parties"/>
    <hr/>
    <h3>INVOICE HEADER RECORD</h3>
    <xsl:apply-templates
         select="$TA-Parties[@account=current()/@account and type='BILL_TO']"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<!-- Invoice header templates go here -->

<xsl:template match="TRANSACTION_PARTY">
    <xsl:text>Bill To:</xsl:text><br/>
    <xsl:value-of select="NAME"/><br/>
    <xsl:value-of select="ADDRESS1"/><br/>
    <xsl:value-of select="ADDRESS2"/><br/>
    <xsl:value-of select="CITY"/>
    <xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="STATE"/>
    <xsl:text>  </xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="ZIPCODE"/><br/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

========================== mergeXML.xsl ==========

I hope I did no mistakes.


The next time please send the XML with the question, this solves mostly the confusion.

Joerg
