Re: Passing Variable into an external xml document template

Sorry Gary,

Your are right it does work on Xalan.  I use eXcelon as my development
and testing and Xalan on the Unix machine.  The problem is with the eXcelon 
processor. So far I had not seen differences.

Like somebody mentioned yesterday eXcelon although very convenient
may not be worth it.

Thanks for your time,
Sia.
