[xsl] embedding links from xml to html using {}

["Runni Vermel" <runni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

so, here's my problem, bear with me since i AM a newbie.
here goes: my xml  tree is as follows:
<notification>

<event>
  <venueId>457</venueId>
  <bunch of more stuff here></bunch of more stuff>
</event>

<event>
  <venueId>457</venueId>
  <bunch of more stuff here></bunch of more stuff>
</event>

<venueInfo>
  <venueId>venueid3</venueId>
  <venueName>venuename3</venueName>
</venueInfo>

<venueInfo>
  <venueId>venueid3</venueId>
  <venueName>venuename3</venueName>
</venueInfo>

</notification>

what i wanna do is do this:
both events have a venueId and both venueInfo also have a venueId. in my xml
page, i have a list of events, and the corresponding venues. there will
always be a match between the event venueId and the venueInto venueId. (hope
that made sense).
so, i'm trying to link the venueName with the venueId as the link as such:
<a href ="#<venueId />"><xsl:apply-templates select="//venueName"/></a>

yes, i know that isn't correct xsl, i just wanted to explain it in the
easiest way.
so, i tried using this:
<a href ="#{venueId}"><xsl:apply-templates select="//venueName"/></a>

alas, reality (and the parser) laughed in my face - this code is only
returning the FIRST venueId - it's not going through the xml tree - only
grabbing the first one...

this is a problem, because even though my sample only has two venueIds, in
fact, i have allot more.

any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated...
thanks,
runni
