Re: [xsl] Trouble creating a table with multiple named temp

Hi Jay,

Your project sounds intense. Pretty cool. I really like working the
reccommended way as I have found it to eliminate problems down the
road. The for-each method does work except that it does all those
elements at once. Is there a way to exit the for-each statement? I
like the idea of apply-templates though. That would keep me away from
the for-each and make my code simpler for others to read.

<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
	  <title>Directory</title>
    <body>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

Is that what you are talking about with <xsl:apply-templates/>

The structure is really no more complex then what I have shown before
and what you have listed below. It was 3 seperate XML files, but I
merged them into 1 using ASP. When I include the
<xsl:apply-templates/> and use the stylesheet you provided earlier,
the XSL still does not walk through the XML file. I am going to be out
the rest of the day so no big hurry in a reply. Thanks again Jay and
to any one else who may contribute while I am away. I am getting a
book tommorrow too, so hopefully not as many silly questions. :)
