I'm having trouble getting the id() function to work in my xslt transformation per the example code below and I'm not sure why. When I load data.xml into a browser I'm expecting to see just the name & size values of the 'BC' item per the stylesheet/transformation. Any suggestions? FYI: I've adapted the example from <a href="http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/XML/0100__XSLT-stylesheet/selectbyid.htm" rel="nofollow">another site</a>. File: transform.xslt <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <xsl:value-of select="id('BC')/name" /> <xsl:value-of select="id('BC')/size" /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </code></pre> File: data.xml <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="transform.xslt" ?> <provinces xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="data.xsd"> <province id="AB"> <name>Alberta</name> <size>33</size> </province> <province id="BC"> <name>British Columbia</name> <size>44</size> </province> <province id="MB"> <name>Manitoba</name> <size>55</size> </province> </provinces> </code></pre> File: data.xsd <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xs:element name="provinces"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element ref="province" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element name="province"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="name" /> <xs:element name="size" /> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:ID" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> </code></pre>

2. COThe goal is to use the XSLT processor thats in Firefox or other modern browser (I presume). Its the one that would be evaluating the stylesheet reference. I'm not getting an explicit error when loading the xml file above so I'm assuming that the code is legit, no? Do you think there might be something wrong with the specification in the XML file?

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
