Hi, Daniel

I can't tell why you got wrong result without seeing your stylesheet. Post your stylesheet, I may help.

Everyone,
 
I am trying to transform a stylesheet and I am running into a problem with the <xsl:for-each> element.  I want to select all <violation> elements underneath the <violations> element.  There are 3 shown in the XML below.  Anyways, I am trying to use the XPath query “//listing/violations/violation” but when I do, it loops through my code 12 times!  I am trying to find the right XPath query so that it only searches 3 times.  Any help is appreciated.  Any help is appreciated!  Thanks.
