for-each is not an iteration structure, although you can think that if you as accustomed to C's for loop. When a for-each structure is entered, each node in the node-set is processed using the same template, and the results are concatenated in the same order. The node processing may happen in parallel, in as many threads as the processor chooses to. Of course, the processor may choose to do it with a single thread, and process each node sequentially, but you cannot force this (why would one de-optimize the processing?). This is why there is no way to 'stop' the iteration -- there is none.
If you want to iterate, do it with a recursive template. That's the way to do it in functional programming languages like XSLT. You can thus exert full control over the iteration. ============================================= Marcelo Jaccoud Amaral Petrobrás (http://www.petrobras.com.br) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ============================================= There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't.
