Re: [xsl] document() loops

["Laura Jenkins" <xsl_list@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

oh ic what u mean.. then in such a case , how do we run a for loop for an 
imported xml file???
for.example
if i get the locations from running a for-each to mainxml.xml
and get hold of the first univ-xml's name..
<xsl:for-each select="document(/univ-xml-list/univ-xml)">
<xsl:variable name = "external-xml" select ="document(.)"/>
</xsl:for-each>

Now is there a way to run a for-each for this external xml file??
so that i get hold of EACH ELEMENT in the External XML?? and get hold of 
their properties like name() position() etc??
