John,

In your template

  <xsl:template match="//HSS">
    <xsl:for-each select=".">
                <a name="{generate-id(HSS)}">
                <xsl:value-of select="@name" /><br />
                <xsl:value-of select="@required" /></a><br />
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

the XPath in the expression "generate-id(HSS)" translates to "generate-id(child::HSS)". Since the HHS element that has been matched has no child HHS element, there's no node to get an ID for. Even if there were, it wouldn't be the right node.

Try "generate-id(.)", short for "generate-id(self::node())", or just "generate-id()", which defaults to this.

Same in the other template.

Why the for-each? It's doing nothing but change the context node to what it already is (again, self::node()).

Cheers,
Wendell
