Re: multiple child elements

hi jeni,

thanx for the response.

i didnt express what i was trying to acheive very well.
the XML file has the following structure which has more than one <synth> in
the root element hence my orginal <xsl:for-each select="kitlist/synth">

<kitlist>
 <synth>
  <manufacturer>Korg</manufacturer>
  <model>Prophecy</model>
  <name>Prophecy SOLO</name>
  <year>199x</year>
  <image>prophecy.gif</image>
  <polyphony>1 note/Monophonic</polyphony>
  <multitimbral>1 part</multitimbral>
  <patches>256 (2 x 128)</patches>
  <keys>37</keys>
  <os>#20</os>
  <midi>In, Out and Thru</midi>
  <outputs>2 (1 x L/mono, R) headphones</outputs>
  <synthesis>
   <type>PCM</type>
   <name>MOSS - Multi Oscillator Synthesis System</name>
  </synthesis>
  <sequencer>none</sequencer>
  <description>
   Despite it&apos;s limitations of being a monophonic instrument, this
machine is a powerful lead synth. Offering a total of 4 LFO&apos;s (Low
Frequency Oscillators) sounds can have a complex tonal texture. There are a
number of wave combinations to create sounds, some of these combinations
also allows real/physical instrument modelling.

  </links>
 </synth>
</kitlist>

the XSL stylesheet was only a snippet of the whole document, which style's
the other elements. when it encounters the multiple <url> child elements of
the <links> tag it only displays the first. is there a way of acheiving the
desired result other than giving each <url> tag a unique name ie. <url1>
etc... ?

assistance would be appriecated :)
