z row
Thanks Tom.  I learned a bit more already.  However, I still can't get
it to work.  I understand recursion, but maybe not in XSL.

Here's my modified xsl:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
				version="1.0">

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

<xsl:template match="../z:row[(@LEVEL=current()/@LEVEL + 1) and (@PARENTCATEGORYID
= current()/@CATEGORYID)">
	<div class="clsItem">
		<span class="clsSpace" type="img"><span class="clsCollapse">+</span></span><span
class="clsLabel" type="label">
			<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="@CATEGORYID"/></xsl:attribute>
			<xsl:attribute name="parentid"><xsl:value-of
select="@PARENTCATEGORYID"/></xsl:attribute>
			<xsl:attribute name="title"><xsl:value-of select="@CATEGORYNAME"/></xsl:attribute>
			<xsl:value-of select="@CATEGORYNAME"/>
		</span>
	  <div>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="../z:row[(@LEVEL=current()/@LEVEL
+ 1) and (@PARENTCATEGORYID = current()/@CATEGORYID)"/>
	  </div>
	</div>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet> 


Here's the input (I trimed it down a bit):

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="CategoryTree.xsl" ?>
<xml xmlns:s='uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882'
	xmlns:dt='uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882'
	xmlns:rs='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset'
	xmlns:z='#RowsetSchema'>

<rs:data>
	<z:row LEVEL='1' CATEGORYNAME='Product 1' CATEGORYID='1' PARENTCATEGORYID='0'
CHILDSORTORDER='10'/>
	<z:row LEVEL='2' CATEGORYNAME='Department A' CATEGORYID='2' PARENTCATEGORYID='1'
CHILDSORTORDER='20'/>
	<z:row LEVEL='2' CATEGORYNAME='Department B' CATEGORYID='3' PARENTCATEGORYID='1'
CHILDSORTORDER='30'/>
	<z:row LEVEL='3' CATEGORYNAME='Prospect' CATEGORYID='5' PARENTCATEGORYID='4'
CHILDSORTORDER='50'/>
	<z:row LEVEL='4' CATEGORYNAME='Appointment' CATEGORYID='49' PARENTCATEGORYID='5'
CHILDSORTORDER='51'/>
	<z:row LEVEL='4' CATEGORYNAME='Follow Up' CATEGORYID='50' PARENTCATEGORYID='5'
CHILDSORTORDER='52'/>
	<z:row LEVEL='4' CATEGORYNAME='Invitation' CATEGORYID='51' PARENTCATEGORYID='5'
CHILDSORTORDER='53'/>
</rs:data>
</xml>

The output I get now is:

+

Just one + sign....?  I assume that's the text() portion....  I greatly
apprecaite all you help.  Thank you,

Michael =:-)
