Re: selecting multiple elements

David, 
In my source, you will notice I have 2 xml files.  Transactions.xml
(as noted previously) and itemsets.xml which looks something like what
is shown directly below.
Essentially, im trying to match the items from each XML document
together, and send out coupons for these items in one email.  However,
I cant get more than one item into each email.  It sends one email per
item right now. Confused on how to accomplish this.

<frequent_item_sets>
  <set id="1" coupon="50 cents">
    <item>Milk</item> 
    <item>Butter</item>
    <item>Eggs</item>
  </set>

  <set id="2" coupon="75 cents">
     <item>Hot Pockets</item>
     <item>Mini Pizza Bagels</item>
     <item>SuperPretzel</item>
     <item>Popcorn Shrimps</item>
</set>
....
