Hi Joris, thanks for your help. What i am trying to achieve is basically and 
expandeable / collapseable tree component. I am using PHP and processing the 
XSL server side. Default view of the component is to display all root level 
nodes. 

The user then clicks a html link of a root level node which causes the page 
to resubmit. A Query string is attached to the link and is passed to the xsl 
stylesheet as a parameter. Using this parameter the childnodes and / or 
ancestors of the node just clicked are displayed. Thus the varying levels of 
the tree are displayed after successive html link clicks

I have implemented they information presented in the style sheet you provided,
however is only seems to be displaying the root level nodes.

An example of what i am trying to acheive can be found here:

I am not trying to get into all the presentation complexities as yet, just 
the basic functionality.

I do appreciate your help!!!!
