You either need an absolute path to univ-xml[2], or you need to store it in
a
i tried doing the absolute path..
by using.
<second-xml>
<xsl:for-each
select="document(/univ-xml-list/univ-xml[2])/university-records/univ-ids/univ">
<!-- TO ITERATE THROUGH THE 2nd XML -->
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</second-xml>
It still doesnt work

^^^^^^^^
There is your problem: you have a relative XPath expression. The first
for-each evaluates its expression in the context of whatever node you
selected outside the for-each, presumably a univ-xml-list from your
example.
The second for-each is evaluating its expression in the context of what was
selected from the first for-each, which is
"/university-records/univ-ids/univ". For this to work, the document loaded
by the first document() would have to look like this:
<university-records>
<univ-ids>
<univ>
<univ-xml>ignored</univ-xml>
<univ-xml>this is univ-xml[2]</univ-xml>
</>
I'm guessing that's not what you want. If it is, ignore me.
You either need an absolute path to univ-xml[2], or you need to store it in
a
variable before the first for-each changes the context. For example:
<xsl:variable name="univ-xml-2" select="univ-xml[2]"/>
<xsl:for-each select="document(univ-xml[1])/...">
...
<xsl:for-each select="document($univ-xml-2)/...">
...
</>
