RE: xsl programming problem

Is it your intention to set the value of the "linkId" attribute for each for each "related_bit" element equal to the "linkId" attribute of the "reg_bit" element that is the parent of the first instance of the "related_bit" in document order?

Hello:

  I have a XSL programming problem I haven't been able to crack.  

1. Here's my xml input file

    <reg_bit linkId="N101D2">
        <bit_name>BIT1</bit_name>
        <related_bit>BIT2</related_bit>
        <related_bit>BIT3</related_bit>       
    </reg_bit>

    <reg_bit linkId="N101D5">
        <bit_name>BIT2</bit_name>
        <related_bit>BIT3</related_bit>
        <related_bit>BIT1</related_bit>       
    </reg_bit>


    <reg_bit linkId="N101D9">
        <bit_name>BIT3</bit_name>
        <related_bit>BIT1</related_bit>
        <related_bit>BIT2</related_bit>       
    </reg_bit> 

2. After processing I want the xml to look like this:

    <reg_bit linkId="N101D2">
        <bit_name>BIT1</bit_name>
        <related_bit linkId="N101D5">BIT2</related_bit>
        <related_bit linkId="N101D9">BIT3</related_bit>       
    </reg_bit>

    <reg_bit linkId="N101D5">
        <bit_name>BIT2</bit_name>
        <related_bit linkId="N101D9">BIT3</related_bit>
        <related_bit linkId="N101D2">BIT1</related_bit>       
    </reg_bit>


    <reg_bit linkId="N101D9">
        <bit_name>BIT3</bit_name>
        <related_bit linkId="N101D2">BIT1</related_bit>
        <related_bit linkId="N101D5">BIT2</related_bit>       
    </reg_bit>


Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

Jon
