Gerhard,
You cannot access the DOCTYPE from XSLT (the only info from the DTD
that's available is about the ID attributes).
A workaround is to access DOCTYPE from your script (e.g. via DOM) and
to set the necessary value as parameter to the stylesheet, before
invoking transformNode().
Another one -- use schema instead of a DTD.

Hi, I am trying to find out the doctype , i.e top level element name,
in
order to load an additional file, whose name is based on the doctype.
Example: If the doctype were 'something', the additional file would be
called 'somethingelse.xml'
Problem is now that the variable holding this value must have global
scope.
How do I acces the name of the top level element?
I think it should close to the following, but I am still missing the
???
part?
<xsl:variable name="DocType">
<xsl:value-of select="???"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="RecordLayouts" select="document(concat($DocType,
'else.xml'))"/>
Thanks for any suggestions...
Best regards,
Gerhard Stenzel
