Hello,

I'm kinda new to XSLT but not a beginner. I have a chunk of XML that
holds recursive data. Here's a simple sample:


<thread>

	<threadentry id="1760434" img="a.jpg" text="Start New Thread">


		<threadentry id="1760440" img="a.jpg" text="First Reply">
		</threadentry>

		<threadentry id="1760445" img="b.jpg" text="Second Reply">

			<threadentry id="1760440" img="c.jpg" text="Reply to the reply.">
			</threadentry>

		</treadentry>

	</threadentry>

</thread>


I'm trying to use the documentElement.transform node method to convert
this using XSLT into DHTML.  I've been reading various articles on
recursion in XLST but they all use templates and when I try to use
templates per the samples IE complains. I just can't figure out how to
do this. Totally stuck.   Can anyone help?


--------------------

the JavaScript snippet:


	gXSL = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
	gXSL.async="false";
	gXSL.load("threads.xsl");

	gThreadsXML = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
	gThreadsXML.async = "false";
	gThreadsXML.loadXML(gThreadsXMLStr);

	if (gThreadsXML.parseError.errorCode != 0) return;

	f_ThreadContainer.innerHTML =
gThreadsXML.documentElement.transformNode(gXSL.documentElement);



------------------------

the simplest XSL that I can get to work looks like this. Its not doing
what I want, it just outputs the root elements, no child elements.


<div xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">

	<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" cellpadding="2">

		<xsl:for-each select="threadentry">
			<TR class="stateHeader">
				<TD>
					<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
				</TD>

				<TD>
					<xsl:value-of select="@img"/>
				</TD>

				<TD>
					<xsl:value-of select="@text"/>
				</TD>
			</TR>

		</xsl:for-each>

	</TABLE>
</div>
