Firstly, Wendell thanks, and it's Heath.
You're welcome.
Outstanding suggestion, thanks for introducing me to a new concept! It
clearly fixes my node-tree problem. I had it pointed out to me on another
forum that my following-sibling method would be problematic as the number
of Users grew. Your method seems to be a bette solution all around.
There's also an in-between solution that doesn't use keys, just pulls the
data using following-sibling::CLIENTDATA[1] (and [2] and [3]); but the
key-based solution is somewhat more robust in the face of anomalous data.
Now my tree is working perfectly, but I'm still having trouble getting
that data to be accessible to my stylesheet.
I'm afraid you're going to have to turn to someone familiar with how to
configure ASP to elucidate why your second transform isn't running.
BTW if you are pulling all USER nodes with <xsl:apply-templates
select="//USER" />, you don't need the template <xsl:template
match="CLIENTDATA"/>, since CLIENTDATA nodes will never be traversed on
their own. You only need it if you are doing the regulation depth-first
traversal of the entire document that XSLT will provide for by default.
(You may want to study up on the XSLT processing model if this is
mysterious to you.)
Cheers,
Wendell
