Hi Jay, Your project sounds intense. Pretty cool. I really like working the reccommended way as I have found it to eliminate problems down the road. The for-each method does work except that it does all those elements at once. Is there a way to exit the for-each statement? I like the idea of apply-templates though. That would keep me away from the for-each and make my code simpler for others to read. <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <title>Directory</title> <body> <xsl:apply-templates/> </body> </html> </xsl:template> Is that what you are talking about with <xsl:apply-templates/> The structure is really no more complex then what I have shown before and what you have listed below. It was 3 seperate XML files, but I merged them into 1 using ASP. When I include the <xsl:apply-templates/> and use the stylesheet you provided earlier, the XSL still does not walk through the XML file. I am going to be out the rest of the day so no big hurry in a reply. Thanks again Jay and to any one else who may contribute while I am away. I am getting a book tommorrow too, so hopefully not as many silly questions. :) Max Bronsema > Assuming that you have many <directory> elements within some parent > element (I'll call it directories for demonstration purposes), you might > try a for-each kind of solution.
