Thanks Micah, Michael and Sell.
So kind of you people to give your time.
Looking at the interest and in reply to Michael, I am expressing my
requirements again, in case, someone can give a refined solution.
The task is to merge two xml files. Both the files have the same root.
File A might or might not have node X(and its sub elements).
File B will always have node X(and its sub elements).
If File A does not contain node X:
XSLT should get it from file B and insert it in File A under the defined
location(which is not root).
If File A contains node X (the location is known):
XSLT should still get it from file B and replace the one existing in File A.
Many thanks once again.

You will find that a good place to ask XSLT coding questions is the xsl-list
at http://www.mulberrytech.com (practical coding problems often get ignored on this
list, especially when its members are busy discussing the meaning of life,
the universe, and everything).
You can achieve what you want with code something like:
<xsl:template match="X">
<xsl:copy-of select="document('b.xml')//X"/>
</xsl:template>
However, that's probably not exactly right, because you haven't expressed
your requirements clearly enough.

Hi all.
I am another newb to xsl. I have a small task - I have read a
primer book
and looks like this is possible.
The task is to merge two xml files.
Scenario is like this:
File A might or might not have node X. XSLT should get the
node X from file
B and put it file A(either add or modify at the right place)
Pointer to any existing examples of this kindof work will be
highly helpful.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi folks,
I'm a complete newb to XML. Though I have been working with
HTML & more
recently XHTML for close to eight years now, it has been
primarily hobby
work up until three years ago.
I would like to know what resources you would recommend to begin
learning about XML and related subjects.
I like http://zvon.org/ for a general introduction. However,
the intro I
would recommend depends a lot on what you need to know. For
instance, I
would give you a totally different starting point for XQuery.
