Ok, you might need to ignore my previous reply.  I've been playing with
the XSL and (with the help of that Xselerator tool) I think I understand
better, but not completly.

My problem is that I'm getting duplicate output.  The XML (trimmed) is:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="CategoryTree2.xsl" ?>
<xml xmlns:rs='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset'
	 xmlns:z='#RowsetSchema'>
<rs:data>
	<z:row LEVEL='1' CATNAME='Level 1' CATID='1' PARENTID='0' />
	<z:row LEVEL='2' CATNAME='Level 2' CATID='3' PARENTID='1' />
	<z:row LEVEL='2' CATNAME='Level 2' CATID='4' PARENTID='1' />
	<z:row LEVEL='3' CATNAME='Level 3' CATID='5' PARENTID='4' />
	<z:row LEVEL='3' CATNAME='Level 3' CATID='6' PARENTID='4' />
	<z:row LEVEL='1' CATNAME='Level 1' CATID='21' PARENTID='0' />
	<z:row LEVEL='2' CATNAME='Level 2' CATID='22' PARENTID='21' />
</rs:data>
</xml>

The XSL is:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
		xmlns:rs='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset'
		xmlns:z='#RowsetSchema'	version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
	<HTML>
	<BODY topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="/xml/rs:data"/>
	</BODY>
	</HTML>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="z:row">
<div class="clsItem">
	CatId_<xsl:value-of select="@CATID"/> - 
	<b><xsl:value-of select="@CATNAME"/></b> - 
	Parent_<xsl:value-of select="@PARENTID"/>
  <div id="container">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="../z:row[(@LEVEL=current()/@LEVEL
+ 1) and (@PARENTID=current()/@CATID)]"/>
  </div>
</div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet> 

Here's what I get:

CatId_1 - Level 1 - Parent_0
CatId_3 - Level 2 - Parent_1
CatId_4 - Level 2 - Parent_1
CatId_5 - Level 3 - Parent_4
CatId_6 - Level 3 - Parent_4
CatId_3 - Level 2 - Parent_1   <!-- duplicate -->
CatId_4 - Level 2 - Parent_1   <!-- duplicate -->
CatId_5 - Level 3 - Parent_4   <!-- duplicate -->
CatId_6 - Level 3 - Parent_4   <!-- duplicate -->
CatId_5 - Level 3 - Parent_4   <!-- duplicate -->
CatId_6 - Level 3 - Parent_4   <!-- duplicate -->
CatId_21 - Level 1 - Parent_0
CatId_22 - Level 2 - Parent_21
CatId_22 - Level 2 - Parent_21   <!-- duplicate -->

I think I'm going crazy learning this... =:-)
As always, your help is greatly appreciated.
