I've learned it was a grouping problem and applied to following style sheet
to it (see below) ... however my select=".." for pulling the values is
pulling null values. What am I missing?
Thank you very much in advance ...

Subject: [xsl] RE: xslt: nested for-each loops and other
transformations?
I didn't know if I posted this before I had an activated account...
I am trying to figure out nested for-each looping and am finding no real
examples to help with this use case (or is there a better way than using
for-each?):
I have an xml document (xmlDocument) that looks like
<plans>
<plan name="Plan A" id="1" quote="44.50">
<descriptor descriptor_name="Provider" descriptor_id="44"
anchor="PROVIDER"
value="Provider A"\>
<descriptor descriptor_name="Underwriter" descriptor_id="45"
anchor="UNDERWRITER" value="Underwriter A"\>
<descriptor descriptor_name="Eligibility" descriptor_id="46"
anchor="ELEGIBILITY" value="US Residents Only"\>
<descriptor descriptor_name="Length of Coverage"
descriptor_id="47"
anchor="COVERAGE" value="30 day max."\>
<descriptor .../>
</plan>
<plan name="Plan B" id="2" quote="77.50">
<descriptor descriptor_name="Provider" descriptor_id="44"
anchor="PROVIDER"
value="Provider B"\>
<descriptor descriptor_name="Underwriter" descriptor_id="45"
anchor="UNDERWRITER" value="Underwriter B"\>
<descriptor descriptor_name="Eligibility" descriptor_id="46"
anchor="ELEGIBILITY" value="No Over 80"\>
<descriptor descriptor_name="Length of Coverage"
descriptor_id="47"
anchor="COVERAGE" value="180 day max."\>
<descriptor .../>
</plan>
<plan name="Plan C" id="3" quote="99.50">
<descriptor descriptor_name="Provider" descriptor_id="44"
anchor="PROVIDER"
value="Provider C"\>
<descriptor descriptor_name="Underwriter" descriptor_id="45"
anchor="UNDERWRITER" value="Underwriter C"\>
<descriptor descriptor_name="Eligibility" descriptor_id="46"
anchor="ELEGIBILITY" value="All"\>
<descriptor descriptor_name="Length of Coverage"
descriptor_id="47"
anchor="COVERAGE" value="30 day max."\>
<descriptor .../>
</plan>
</plans>
The problem is that the xlst must take into account that the <descriptor..>
field is dynamic but will have the same # and type between plans.
I want to generate an html table that looks somewhat like:
<tr><td>Plan</td><td>Plan A</td><td>Plan B</td><td>Plan C</td></tr>
<tr><td>Provider</td><td>Provider A</td><td>Provider
B</td><td>ProviderC</td></tr>
<tr><td>Underwriter</td><td>Underwriter A</td><td>Underwriter
B</td><td>Underwriter C</td></tr>
.. etc
How would I achieve this two-prong looping in the xslt file? I know I can
use the <xsl:for-each ..\> tag but is there a way to populate a temporary
scheme of just <descriptors><descriptor/></descriptors> and then have a loop
through that?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
