Re: Nesting for-each elements - Can it be done?

1. First, update the MSXML processor to the XSLT compliant version. See the
FAQ at http://www.netcrucible.com/xslt/msxml-faq.htm.

This isn't why your transformation is failing, but most subscribers to the
list use XSLT (not the MS specific dialect TR-WD)

2. The 2nd for-each is not matching any elements because their is no
web_seminars child element of the current context node. The first for-each
makes the context the web_seminars element. The second for-each is looking
for the web_seminars child of the web_seminars element. None exists, so
nothing is displayed.

3. You really should be using apply-templates instead of for-each. I have
included a sample transformation that uses both, to illustrate the
apply-templates approach.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
   <table border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0" width="350"
bgcolor="#EEEEEE">
 <xsl:apply-templates />
   </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="seminar">
   <tr>
      <td colspan="2" valign="top">
         <i><xsl:value-of select="seminar_topic"/></i><br />
         Presented by <xsl:value-of select="seminar_speaker/speaker_name"/>,
        <xsl:value-of select="seminar_speaker/speaker_title"/>,
        <xsl:value-of select="seminar_speaker/speaker_affiliation"/>
 <hr size="1" width="100%" />
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
 <td valign="top">
  Available Dates (Select One):
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
 <xsl:for-each select="seminar_dates/individual_date">
  <xsl:element name="input">
   <xsl:attribute name="type">radio</xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:attribute name="name">seminar_date</xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="." /></xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:element>
  <xsl:value-of select="." /><br />
 </xsl:for-each>
 </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="2" valign="top">
      <hr size="1" width="100%" />
      <i>Note:</i> All Web Seminars begin at 11:00AM US Pacific Time (2:00PM
 US Eastern Time).
      </td>
    </tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Have fun,
