I want to have unlimited entries, but I also want to run a for-each on

absolutely new to this, so please bear with me! Thanks.

I suggest the following data structure

</entries>
</category>
</categories>
with the sheet (using apply-templates instead of for-each)
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="no "/>

Nicolas has already suggested a different markup design, which is more
explicit and properly nested. The trick is to enclose things in the
elements which name what they are -- personally I prefer compactness,
especially where the data is categorical:
<data>
<entry cat="Jobs" job="Plumber" date="2004-05-12"/>
<entry cat="Teams" job="Jets" date="2004-03-12
</data>
I STRONGLY recommend using ISO 8601 dates in the format given: they are
much easier to manipulate.
Then you don't need for-each at all:
<xsl:apply-templates select="/data/entry">
<xsl:sort select="@cat"/>
<xsl:sort select="@date"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

Thanks Nicolas,
I'm a bit confused by the line,
<xsl:template match="job|date ">
because I may have other things besides those two. How can I allow for
an unlimited number of data-types under "entry"?

Use <xsl:template match="entry/*">
If there should be a child element 'foo' of 'entry' that should not be matched, you can exclude it thus:
<xsl:template match="entry/*[not(self::foo)]">

Hi All,
I am trying to get my style sheet to work. It works fine in IE but I can't
get it to work in .net.
Below is the function I use for transforming, where advancedOptionsFile is
the path to the file containing an XML document required by the
transformation, and xmlSimplified is the XML document to trasform.

Attribute Value Template
Official W3C explanation and example
This is when you want to put dynamic values in the attribute of an element. Instead of using the <xsl:attribute> element, you can simply place the xpath in the attribute itself.
The most common usage of this is in creating hyperlinks.
