I am trying to create a dynamic menu using XML and XSLT.  Here is my XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="mymenu.xsl"?>


<menu>
	<item id = "1" url="default.aspx"
title="Home"></item>  
        <item id = "2" url="default.aspx?id=Training"
title="Training">
		<item id = "3" url="default.aspx?id=Search_Training"
title="Search Training"></item>
                <item id = "4"
url="default.aspx?id=Post_Training" title="Post Training"></item>
</item>  
        <item id = "7" url="default.aspx?id=Other_Training"
title="Other Training">
		<item id = "8"
url="default.aspx?id=Search_Other_Training" title="Search Other
Training"></item>
                <item id = "9"
url="default.aspx?id=Post_Other_Training" title="Post Other Training"></item>
</item>
        <item id = "11" url="default.aspx?id=About_Us" title="About
Us">
		<item id = "12" url="default.aspx?id=Location" title="Location">
<item id = "13" url="default.aspx?id=Map" title="View Map"></item>
		</item>
</item>            
</menu>I am using the following XSLT to generate my HTML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>



<xsl:param name="URL"/>
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:template match="menu">
    <html>
<body>
        <ul>
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </ul>
</body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="item">
    <li>
<a href="{@url}">
        <xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
      </a>
<xsl:if test="item">
        <ul>
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
</ul>
      </xsl:if>
    </li>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I would
like to hide the child menu if the parent menu is not selected.   I would also
like the parent menu to be expanded if a child menu is selected.  I am passing
the url as a parameter (ex: default.aspx, default.aspx?id=About_us) this
matches the URL attribute of the item.   I am new to XSLLT and would
appreciate any help.

Thanks
Brant
