Nested XML XSL for-each loop

Question

I am having trouble reading out my nested for-each loops. For some reason, it doesn't loop under the direct nodes. The trouble seems to be with the tages.My first loop happens after I open the table, and I loop through the whole table for the admin reports and nest the second node underneath it. This works fine, but when I go to nest additional nodes underneath, I am able to pull the values, but not specific to the parent node. My eyes are pretty much bloodshot from this exercise, could someone lend some help. Thanks in advance.

XSL:

    <tr bgcolor="9acd32">
    <table><th>Data Source Name:</th></table>
    <table><th><xsl:value-of select="@Value"/>   </th></table>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
   <xsl:for-each select="*[name()='PartInformation']">  
       <table bgcolor="#99ff66"><th>Part Information:</th></table>
       <table bgcolor="#99ff66"><th><xsl:value-of select="@Value"/></th></table>       
   <tr> 
    <xsl:for-each select="*/*[name()='InspPrgInformation']">    
       <table bgcolor="#33ccff"><th>Inspection Program ID:</th></table>
       <table bgcolor="#33ccff"><th><xsl:value-of select="@Value"/></th></table>
    <table bgcolor="#33ccff"><th><xsl:value-of select="@NoOfTracefields"/></th></table>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </tr>         
<tr> 
   <xsl:for-each select="*/*/*[name()='AreaInformation']">    
       <table bgcolor="#FFFF99"><th>Area Information:</th></table>
       <table bgcolor="#FFFF99"><th><xsl:value-of select="@Area"/></th></table>
       <table bgcolor="#FFFF99"><th><xsl:value-ofselect="@AreaCount"/>         
  </th></table>
   </xsl:for-each>
   </tr>

 </xsl:for-each>
</table>
</center>

What you are doing is wrong for what you want to achieve:

<xsl:for-each select="*[name()='PartInformation']">  
   <table bgcolor="#99ff66"><th>Part Information:</th></table>
   <table bgcolor="#99ff66"><th><xsl:value-of select="@Value"/></th></table>       
   <tr> 
   <xsl:for-each select="*/*[name()='InspPrgInformation']">    
       <table bgcolor="#33ccff"><th>Inspection Program ID:</th></table>
       <table bgcolor="#33ccff"><th><xsl:value-of select="@Value"/></th></table>
    <table bgcolor="#33ccff"><th><xsl:value-of select="@NoOfTracefields"/></th></table>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </tr>
</xsl:for-each>

The second for each is by no means related with the first one. Same goes with your third for-each.

Do not the the current() will give you the currently iterated node.

You could rewrite your first two for-each like this :

<tr>
            <xsl:for-each select="*[name()='PartInformation']">
                <tr>
                    <xsl:for-each select="current()/*/InspPrgInformation">
                        <table bgcolor="#33ccff">
                            <th>Inspection Program ID:</th>
                        </table>
                        <table bgcolor="#33ccff">
                            <th>
                                <xsl:value-of select="@Value"/>
                            </th>
                        </table>
                        <table bgcolor="#33ccff">
                            <th>
                                <xsl:value-of select="@NoOfTracefields"/>
                            </th>
                        </table>
                    </xsl:for-each>
                </tr>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </tr>

The third one can be used with your current design. Because current() is local to each for-each, so your third for-each has no idea about the other two. In addition your design seems to be using xslt as a programming language which is not the way to go.

Finally try to provide some complete/compilable examples next time as well as your target document.
