[xsl] Extracting elements by parent

2008-03-26 07:07:25
Good morning (EST)... I'm still very green with this material so I could be going about this all wrong. I'd like to loop through a collection of elements based on the parent element. I've included a snippet of the XML I'm using:

======================================================================
<batches>
   <batch id="foobar" in_use="1" order="0">
<description mandatory="0">Description for batch foobar</description>
       <tests>
           <test id="bespin0" in_use="1" order="0" delay="0">
               <description mandatory="0" />
               <params>
                   <p id="TEST" mandatory="1">Test1</p>
                   <p id="DEPENDENCY" mandatory="0" />
               </params>
           </test>
           <test id="kuat0" in_use="1" order="1" delay="0">
               <description mandatory="0" />
               <params>
                   <p id="TEST" mandatory="1">Test2</p>
                   <p id="DEPENDENCY" mandatory="0">bespin0</p>
               </params>
           </test>
       </tests>
   </batch>
   <batch id="more_foobar" in_use="1" order="0">
<description mandatory="0">Description for batch more_foobar</description>
       <tests>
           <test id="hoth0" in_use="1" order="0" delay="0">
               <description mandatory="0" />
               <params>
                   <p id="TEST" mandatory="1">Test3</p>
                   <p id="DEPENDENCY" mandatory="0" />
               </params>
           </test>
           <test id="alderaan0" in_use="1" order="1" delay="0">
               <description mandatory="0" />
               <params>
                   <p id="TEST" mandatory="1">Test4</p>
                   <p id="DEPENDENCY" mandatory="0">hoth0</p>
               </params>
           </test>
       </tests>
   </batch>
</batches>
======================================================================

What I want to achieve is 1) while looping through the batches print out all the associated elements and attributes of a batch 2) within a batch loop through the tests and print out all the associated parameters and associated elements and attributes of a test. I've already looked at other sources (including W3Schools and Zvon) and already tried several ways but no luck.

If the above goal as stated is not achievable with XSLT is there some alternative way to do something similar?

Thx for reading...
