problem with xsl template

I'm having a bit of a problem with and xsl template im making for an xml database of my music library. (newb)
heres what my xml file looks like in a nutshell

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="simple.xsl" ?>
<collection>
<artist name="AC/DC">
<album>74 Jailbreak</album>
<album>Back In Black</album>
<album>Blow Up Your Video</album>
</artist>
<artist name="Bachman Turner Overdrive">
<album>Not Fragile</album>
...
</collection>

See very simple. When it comes to the XSL stylesheet however I'm having a big of difficulty because there are sometimes more then one album. Here's what it looks like

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:template match="/">
<html> 
<body>

<xsl:for-each select="collection/artist"> 
<b><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></b>
<xsl:value-of select="album"/>
</xsl:for-each> 
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I know I'm doing it wrong because it only displays the first album for every artist. Can anyone help be fix this?

You need to do another for-each loop for each album. The following should work:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

 <xsl:template match="/">

  <html> 
  <body>

  <xsl:for-each select="/collection/artist"> 

   <b><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></b>

   <dl>
    <dt>Albums:</dt>
    <xsl:for-each select="./album">
     <dd><xsl:value-of select="." /></dd>
    </xsl:for-each> 
   </dl>

  </xsl:for-each> 

  </body>
  </html>

 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
