XSLTransform & using XML Resolver to get images

I am transforming xml using XSLTransform which works fine. The xsl
file is stored on eg. C:\temp1 and the xml is loaded from c:\temp2.
All image files referenced in the stylesheet file are stored on the
same path as the stylesheet and are not used in the transform. How do
I use an XMLResolver to transform using the images without having to
move the files, is it possible???

Images are referenced as eg. <img src="image1.gif"/> in the
stylesheet.

Thanks

You can use a <base> element in the generated HTML/XHTML document to
specify how relative URLs should be resolved, see the definition of
the element <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/links.html#h-12.4>.
Use something like <base href="file:///c:/temp1/" /> in the <head>
section of the document in the XSLT.

If I use the base element, and create it using <xsl:element> and
<xsl:attribute>, how can I get the uri of the current xsl document and
place it in this tag such that my images will be pulled from this
location???

Not possible using XSLT 1.0, you would need to hardcode the value
somehow or use extension functions, etc.
