Sorry, but no that's not the problem.  That was just a typo.  Thanks for
catching it.  Any other suggestions?

Is it possibly because of the typographical error, spelling "reject" as
"rejct"?

Hello.
I'm attempting to determine if a node exists on a sibling to an ancestor of
the current node.  In the following "tree" payerid is the current node being
processed and I need to determine if the reject node exists.  What's a good
way to do this?

>eliginq	   eligresp
>   |			|
>payerid	   subscribe
>			|
>		   reject

The path (ancestor::transaction)/response/eligresp/subscribe/reject works to
find the node, and I thought using

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="(ancestor::transaction)/response/eligresp/subscribe/reject">
/* call template recursively to update count */
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
/* output total minus count */
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

would be the best way to handle things. Unfortunately, the otherwise path is
always taken. I need to move through the entire node-set selected by the
template before it gets to the otherwise clause.  Would a for-each loop be a
better way to do this?  Do I need to create another template with the same
node-set that doesn't output anything but does update the counter?

Any suggestions, guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Erika Marlow
