Looks like now I am trying to use the tokenize function, but it appears that it does not allow me to use id() with it.

When I ran the XSLT, it tells me this: F Cannot select a node here: the context item is an atomic value, with the errors pointing to the line where it says id(.).

Here is my XML:

             <listItem>
                  <to_do xml:id="cheese">Cheddar Cheese</to_do>
              </listItem>
               <listItem>
                  <to_do xml:id="beef">Chuck Steak</to_do>
              </listItem>
               <listItem>
                  <to_do xml:id="vegetables">Brocoli, Beans, Carrots</to_do>
              </listItem>
              <listItem>
                  <to_do xml:id="milk">Dean's Low Fat Milk 2%</to_do>
              </listItem>

 <do>
  <date>2007-11-14</date>
 <list>milk cheese vegetables beef</list>
 <limit_price>20</limit_price>
  <do>

Current XSL:

 <xsl:template name="do_list">
  <xsl:variable name="do" select="list">
  <xsl:variable name="item" select="tokenize($item, '\s+')"/>
   <xsl:for-each select="$item">
  <xsl:value-of select="id(.)"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

    <xsl:variable name="do" select="list"/>
    <xsl:variable name="item" select="tokenize($do, '\s+')"/>
    <xsl:for-each select="$item">
      <xsl:value-of select="id(.,$do)"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
