Hi,

I am trying to use xpath in generating the content as part of a CSS 
rule.  I have worked out how to select the data I want from within the 
same document but am having troubles with getting it from a different 
XML document.

Here's what I have done.

   /* works - display name element of element with id A104 in external 
document */
   /* content: 
xpath("document('file:///home/daleys/.xxe2/config/tdor/data_items.xml')//datait...@id='A104']/nme");
 
*/

The problem I have is that instead of the [...@id='A104'] being hard-coded 
(as in the example above), I want this to come from an attribute of the 
document I am rendering with CSS.  How do I get the context of the 
selected CSS node into the XPath expression that has its context with 
another document?  ie something equivelent to "id of external document 
node = attribue of css selected node".

Thanks
Scott
