Thank Tom

Hello Tom. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do here. Perhaps you could be a tad more specific? I read your xsl, and it looked as though you wanted to select parentID's less than 1, but then in that IF statement you want the parentID's equal to 1 (of course that's never going to happen). I tweaked your code a tad to get it to display something that I thought you were looking for, but I'm not sure if this is correct since I'm hazy on what exactly you're trying to do.

I changed your xml file as you can put change the ID elements to attributes (these make more sense as attributes) - I would have changed the rest of the xml if necessary but again, I don't know what you're trying to accomplish.

table.xml


table.xsl

Take a look at what kind of output you get from the revamped xsl, and let me know exactly what you're looking for and I'll try to offer more help.

Sorta i wil ltry to explain more

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="table.xsl" ?>
<table>
<category categoryID="1" parentID="0">
<title>Category1</title>
</category>

<category categoryID="2" parentID="0">
<title>Category2</title>
</category>

<category categoryID="3" parentID="1">
<title>SubCategory for cat 1</title>
</category>

<category categoryID="3" parentID="2">
<title>SubCategory for cat 2</title>
</category>
</table>

Ok the parent ID refers to the parent category id so in subcategory for cat 1 the parent id is 1 refering to Category 1 so this would like to produce

Category1
-- SubCategory for cat 1

Category2
-- SubCategory for cat 2

does this help thanks very much for your help !
