Problem sending merged xml data from one xsl file to another

Hoi,

I have a little problem in sending the merged XML data to the file adds.xsl.
The idea is to have different adds on different websites, but combining them together
for each website with the help of a source list.

When I add <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="merge.xsl"?> in the file sources.xml and open this file,
I can tell that the data is merged correctly, but if I open adds.xml, only the html table appears
without the data that should have been merged.

the newline to <br /> translater works also fine.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Greets,
Kris

problem solved

Hoi,

Found a very good solution to merge different xml files for my problem.
just use the following: <xsl:for-each select="document(files/file[/])/adds/add">
the file adds.xml and adds.xsl dissapeared, and everything went into the file sources.xsl

this works even in IE5

Greetings,
Kris
