Ok, I don't have a lot of experience with XSLT or XML, but I have a dilemma I need to solve. I'll set up the scenario and I greatly appreciate any help I can get.

My XML has this structure and it's called index.xml.

content
expert/
feature
feature_story_1_link/
feature_story_2_link/
feature_story_3_link/
feature/
other_link
link/
link/
other_link/
content/



The value stored in the feature_story_1_link is a reference to another XML file e.g. /news/news_000123.xml.

Inside /news/news_000123.xml information is stored regarding a large picture and a thumbnail and some other text. Like this:

content
summary/
body/
image_src_lg/
image_src_th/
image_caption/
image_alt_text/
media_contact/
content/

Now for the question. In the XSL for index.xml how do I refer to the information inside /news/news_000123.xml so that I only display the the image_src_th and summary inside index.asp?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't fully understand your notation but perhaps it doesn't matter.

You want something like

select="document(feature_story_1_link)/content/image_src_th"
