document() in cocoon

[John Ky <ne...@yahoo.com>]

Two questions:

Question 1:

Does cocoon allow for a stylesheet to process
data from XML documents other than the source
document?

ie. does it support the XSLT function document()

I guess this question is relevant here only if cocoon
compiles stylesheets (does it? or is it a Xalan
question?)

Question 2:

I was thinking of doing something like this:

    <xsl:for-each select="document('data.xml', /xsl-props/style)">
        <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
    </xsl:for-each>

where data.xml contains:

    <xsl-props>
        <style name="bgcolor" value="red" />
    </xsl-props>

where data.xml would contain a few parameters
on how the stylesheet would function.

Is my syntax/use correct?  If it is correct,
should I see the "bgcolor red" in my output file?
If not what is the correct use?

Many Thanks

John

Don't worry ... a little more trial and error gave me a result.
