Re: [xsl] looping through Elements stored in a variable..

[Niko Matsakis <niko@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One way to do this would be something like the following:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:me="http://www.my-namespace.com";>
  <me:University-List>
       <University id = "1"> University1</University>
       <University id = "2"> University2</University>
       <University id = "3"> University3</University>
       <University id = "4"> University4</University>
   </me:University-List >
   <xsl:template match="/">
       <xsl:variable name="univ-var" 
select="document("")/xsl:stylesheet/me:University-List"/>
       <xsl:for-each select="$univ-var/University">
           <!-- do something -->
       </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

i.e., use the document function to load the source xml of your 
stylesheet and access the data without using an RTF.  This only works, 
of course, if your RTF is constant.  I'm using the namespace 
"www.my-namespace.com" as an example, obviously, any namespace that is 
not the XSLT namespace should be okay.
