I'm new to the XML arena, so bear with me if I'm not asking the right
question here. Using an XSL file, I'm trying to create links to other
points in an XML document (ultimately, the data's displaying in HTML via
JSP). The problem is that my code works only within the context node. The
link should move from section to section, and the section elements appear
within various chapters. The section to section part works, but once it
reaches the end of a chapter, it won't move to the next chapter. Code
snippets are below.
Any help/advice is *greatly* appreciated! Thanks in advance!
