Kiran:
I highly recommend that you download Xselerator; it has a built in wizard
for <select> controls.
www.marrowsoft.com

I had to tweak this a little, but this is pretty much what the wizard
created:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method='html' indent='yes' omit-xml-declaration='yes' />
  <xsl:template match="Roles">
    <select name="selRoles" size="3" style="WIDTH: 278px; HEIGHT: 50px"
multiple="true">
      <xsl:for-each select="Role">
        <option>
          <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of
select="@Roleid"/></xsl:attribute>
          <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
        </option>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </select>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet

This also works if I replace <option> with <xsl:element name="option">, as
you had in your XSL.  My guess is that <xsl:for-each
select="DSUser/Roles/Role"> doesn't match anything in the XML you posted.
You don't need to have your pattern match start at the beginning of the
document; you've matched <Roles> to get into the template, so that is the
context node.  <xsl:for-each select="./Role"> is probably more accurate, as
the period basically says, "Start at the context node and get all children
named 'Role.'"  Ah wait, found a passage in Michael Kay's "XSLT Programmer
Reference."  "./Role" and "Role" are equivalent; some people use the .
operator for clarity at the start of a relative path. (page 357).

Ciao,
Dave
