I think I am still strugling, I tried to take suggestions from both
replies but I am still only getting 1 returned sub-category, when there
should be 2 or 3 depending on the parent category.
Here is my XSL-T
What do I need to do differently that I am not understanding?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" method="html" version="4.01"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"
media-type="text/html"/>
<!-- value passed dynamically via asp -->
<xsl:param name="paraCatagory"/>
<xsl:template match="menu">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="category">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="(@name=$paraCatagory)">
<div class="cat_block">
<div class="cat_module">
<xsl:value-of select="category/@display_name"/>
<br/>
<a href="{category/info/link}">
<img src="{category/info/images/image}"/>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

<xsl:template match="category">
<xsl:if test="(@name=$paraCatagory)">
This means that if you find a category whose @name is not equal to
$paraCatagory, the stylesheet does nothing with that element - in
particular it does not process the children of that category.
What's more,
<xsl:for-each select=".">
is a no-op.
I've no idea what you really want to do, but I suspect that if you
encounter a category with the wrong name, you want to recursively
process it's children. Say
<xsl:template match="category">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="(@name=$paraCatagory)">
...
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:template>

I do not know what to do next and I need help.
I have developed and Idea that I could loop through all the category
pages make div boxes of the different categories and show and image
and link.
No matter what I try it stops at the first child node-set and does not
do all 2 or 3 or even the sub-sub-categories. Before I kill 2 more
days on this can I get some help.
Here is what I have so far for the XSL followed by the XML.
Help appreciated.
