Re: One XSL combining to different XMLs

Hi Jeni,

    I've been trying to imbbed debugging code in the 'LstXMLAccountPG.jsp' and
got the results (like system.out). This means that there is no error with
referencing the file since it is found and executed. I m afraid it is something
with the following code but I m really stuck with this.

Thanks for all the help.
