Hi,
I wanted to make a template rule corresponding to apply-templates which
makes use of document() function.
When I try to apply this style sheet on the XML, browser throws an error. Am
I doing somethin wrong or ... ?
Is there any other method to achieve the same ? Sample code is:

(Test1.xml)
	<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Test.xsl"?>
	<students>
		<student>
			<name>Naren</name>
			<age>28</age>
		</student>
		<student>
			<name>Vineet</name>
			<age>25</age>
		</student>
	</students>

(Test2.xml)
	<students>
		<student>
			<qualification>Graduate</qualification>
		</student>
		<student>
			<qualification>Post Graduate</qualification>
		</student>
	</students>

(Test.xsl)
	<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
		<xsl:output method="html" />
	
		<xsl:variable name="DOC2" select="document(Test2.xml)" />
		<xsl:template match="/">
			<html>
				<head>
					<title>Test</title>
				</head>
				<body>
					<xsl:apply-templates
select="students" />
				</body>
			</html>
		</xsl:template>
	
		<xsl:template match="students">
			<xsl:for-each select="student">
				<xsl:value-of select="name" />&#160;
				<xsl:value-of select="age" /><br/>
				<xsl:apply-templates
select="$DOC2/students/student/qualification" />
			</xsl:for-each>
		</xsl:template>
	
	     <!-- MSXML throws error at following point that it does not
allow variables at this position.
		Even if I make use of document function directly instead of
taking a variable, it still throws an error.
		-->
		<xsl:template match="$DOC2/students/student/qualification">
			<span>NAREN</span>
		</xsl:template>
	</xsl:stylesheet> 

Any help would be great!
