Hi Johannes, Well firstly if you're using a variable to store your filename you shouldn't need quotes around it. Should just be <xsl:value-of select="document($filename)/NodeA/NodeB/NodeC" />
If that doesn't work it could be a problem with the path to your file or the path to your nodes. The XML needs to be well formed, but if you're not getting an error then that shouldn't be a factor. I'd make sure the file path is correct by trying to output everything in the file <xsl:value-of select="document($filename)/*" /> or use doc-available to tell you. According to your XML input your xpath looks ok (assuming first </NodeB> is <NodeB>).

Thats what I tried, only to test the document() function: <xsl:value-of select="document('$filename')/NodeA/NodeB/NodeC" /> but I got no output. When I insert <xsl:value-of select="doc-available('$filename')" /> for example, nothing works anymore :) The content of $filename is correct. The xml structure of the file is: <NodeA> </NodeB> <NodeC> text </NodeC> </NodeB> </NodeA> Could it be still a path issue?
