RE: [xsl] XSL-T should naturally loop? not grabbing all the children node-sets..

["Dan Acuff" <dacuff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I am still strugling, I tried to take suggestions from both
replies but I am still only getting 1 returned sub-category, when there
should be 2 or 3 depending on the parent category.

Here is my XSL-T

What do I need to do differently that I am not understanding?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
 <xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" method="html" version="4.01"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"
  media-type="text/html"/>
 <!-- value passed dynamically via asp -->
 <xsl:param name="paraCatagory"/>

 <xsl:template match="menu">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:template>


 <xsl:template match="category">
  <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="(@name=$paraCatagory)">

    <div class="cat_block">
     <div class="cat_module">
      <xsl:value-of select="category/@display_name"/>
      <br/>
      <a href="{category/info/link}">
       <img src="{category/info/images/image}"/>
      </a>
     </div>
    </div>

   </xsl:when>
  </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

<xsl:template match="category">
  <xsl:if test="(@name=$paraCatagory)">

This means that if you find a category whose @name is not equal to
$paraCatagory, the stylesheet does nothing with that element - in
particular it does not process the children of that category.

What's more,

<xsl:for-each select=".">

is a no-op.

I've no idea what you really want to do, but I suspect that if you
encounter a category with the wrong name, you want to recursively
process it's children. Say

<xsl:template match="category">
  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="(@name=$paraCatagory)">
    ...
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:template>
