Re: document() loops

I was expecting to get a result like..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<first-xml>
	<univ1>Kansas State University</univ1>
	<univ2>Florida Atlantic University</univ2>
	<univ3> Mississipi State University</univ3>
	<univ4>Ohio State University</univ4>
	<second-xml>
		<univ1>Ohio State University</univ1>
		<univ2>Wisconsin state University</univ2>
		<univ3> Rensellar polytechnic Institute </univ3>
		<univ4> Mississipi State University</univ4>
	</second-xml>
</first-xml>

but what prints out is..
<first-xml>
	<univ1>Kansas State University</univ1>
	<univ2>Florida Atlantic University</univ2>
	<univ3> Mississipi State University</univ3>
	<univ4>Ohio State University</univ4>
	<second-xml></second-xml>
</first-xml>

your terminology does not fit well with that of XSLT so I am having to
guess what you mean. for-each iterates over the set of nodes supplied,
these can come from any number of files: you just have to select the
appropriate nodes.

Perhaps you would be better to apply-templates rather than do a for->each
if you want to traverse into the file structure.

But otherwise, as I think i said before, something like

<xsl:for-each select="univ-xml">

>stuff from <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 ><xsl:for-each select="document(.)/university-records/*">
>  iterate over all the children of university-records in this file...

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??

  <xsl:for-each select="document(/univ-xml-list/univ-xml[1])">
  <xsl:variable name = "element-name" select="name(.)"/>
  <xsl:element name="$element-name">

  </xsl:element>
  </xsl:for-each>
  this will create all the elements that are in the first elements..

No it won't as I said before that for-each is iterating over a single node
so it will only create one element, with name equal to teh name of teh
node selected in the xsl:for-each select=" however that node is a
document node, so has name "" so the xsl:eleemnt should generate an
error thatyou are trying to generate an element with an invalid name,
"".
