need help with XSLT displaying multiple (duplicate) nodes

[Mad Scientist Jr]

I wrote an XSLT ("myquery1.xsl" below) that takes some XML data
("mydata.xml" below) and displays it in HTML table format.

"myquery1.xsl" returns:
C D E F G H I J K L
Red R 7 3 2 Hot Firetruck true true
Green G 50003 5 3 Warm Avocado true
Blue B 17 6 1 Cool

The problem is that the XML can contain multiple nodes for H and I and
the xsl is only displaying the first one for each node B.

So I modified the XSLT ("myquery2.xsl" below) using a nested template
so that it will return all nodes of H and I (separated by a + sign).
However, now it isn't returning anything for those nodes.

"myquery2.xsl" returns:
C D E F G H I J K L
Red R 7 3 2 true true
Green G 50003 5 3 true
Blue B 17 6 1

Can someone with more experience in XSLTs see what I am doing wrong
and explain how to get it to display the data correctly?

What I want it to return:
C D E F G H
I J K L
Red R 7 3 2 Hot+Warm Firetruck+Hydrant+Tomato+Apple
+Darth_Maul true true
Green G 50003 5 3 Warm+Cool Avocado+Lettuce
+Ralph_Nader true
Blue B 17 6 1
Cool

Any help would be most appreciated...

I wrote an XSLT ("myquery1.xsl" below) that takes some XML
data ("mydata.xml" below) and displays it in HTML table
format.

The problem is that the XML can contain multiple nodes for
H and I and the xsl is only displaying the first one for
each node B.
[...]

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/ Transform">
Whoops.

<xsl:template match="A/B">

Interesting... So the context node in this template would be
a B element.

<xsl:value-of select="C"/> 
Nifty.

<xsl:apply-templates select="A/B/H" /> 

Instead of answering your question, I would like to ask you
one. Are there any B elements in your document that have A
element children?

HTH, HAND.
