Re: [xsl] getting associated file name for element

Could you do something like

<xsl:for-each select="$all-questions//quiz/@href" />
        <xsl:variable name='curDoc' select='.' />
        <xsl:for-each select="document($curDoc)//question">
        <xsl:sort order='ascending' select='faa-num' />
                <xsl:value-of select="faa-num" />
                <xsl:value-of select="$curDoc" />
        </xsl:for-each>

</xsl:for-each>

Since you need to sort the questions, you can't. I think that the best
way to do what you're trying to do here is to create an intermediate
node tree and use a node-set() extension function to get at the nodes.
So something like:

  <xsl:variable name="questions-rtf">
    <xsl:for-each select="$all-questions//quiz/@href">
      <quiz href="{.}">
        <xsl:copy-of select="document(.)//question" />
      </quiz>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:for-each select="exsl:node-set($questions-rtf)/quiz/question">
    <xsl:sort order="ascending" select="faa-num" />
    ... do stuff with each question ...
    <xsl:value-of select="faa-num" />
    ...
    <xsl:value-of select="../@href" />
  </xsl:for-each>

Cheers,

Jeni
