Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to access data in the source XML document
while within a for-each loop of another XML document. Does anybody know
how to accomplish this without doing another document() call to the
source XML document?

source.xml
----------------------------------------------
	<element>
		<child>source doc</child>
	</element>

external.xml
----------------------------------------------
<element>
	<child>external doc</child>
<element>

stylesheet.xslt
----------------------------------------------
...
I can display <xsl:value-of select="/element/child"> here
<xsl:for-each select="document('external.xml')/element/*">
	I can display <xsl:value-of select="."/> here
	Problem: I can't display /element/child on my source.xml unless
I do another document() call
</xsl:for-each>
...

Thanks for any help in advance!
