Are you wanting any more help? If so, you need to show what you are doing and what error you are getting. This has been a pretty tortuous thread and you can't expect anyone to know where you've got to.

Yes I still need help. I appreciate your time and effort to help me.

Here is my code that I am using:

Code:

  <xsl:template match="JBU:share">
    <xsl:variable name="x" select="@item" >
      <xsl:for-each select="document(@loc)">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="id($x)/node()"/>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:variable>
  </xsl:template>

I am recieving the following error:

The variable or parameter 'x' cannot have both a 'select' attribute and non-empty content.

The JBU:share has two attributes, @loc and @item. @loc is for the location of the xml document and @item is the id I want the value of.

The @item is not empty. I need that value to identify the id of the element I need the value of.

Regards,
Bones

Your code should be

<xsl:template match="JBU:share">
    <xsl:variable name="x" select="@item" />
    <xsl:for-each select="document(@loc)">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="id($x)/node()"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

I'm surprised that you're having trouble with something so basic. I'd suggest you get a book such as Jeni Tennison's "Beginning XSLT" and work your way through the examples and exercises.
