for Paul! Re: id() not working in Cocoon 1.7.2/1.7.4

Hello Paul,

Here is what I sent out a few weeks ago.    Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks.

Hello,

I am using Cocoon 1.7.2 as well as 1.7.4 and the id() doesn't seem to be
working when I use it in my stylesheet to display the link or reference
name.  Has anyone run into this problem?  If so, any workaround?


Below are my DTD, XML, and XSL files.  Basically, I have 2 elements named
"Company" and "Vendor".  The "Vendor" element is pointing to "Company"
element.  In my XSL file, when I use the id() in Vendor match template to
print company name, it prints nothing.  If I insert a hard-coded string, it
works.  So, I know the link is working. It's just that I can't get the name
displayed!!!!!  ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Could you please provide some sample files that illustrate the problem
you've
been having.  There have been some edge-case bugs with id() that we've
been working on.
