XSLT problem when parsing .xml for use in navigation

Asked by dowdyrowdy in Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT), Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Hi All,

I have inherited this code that outputs a menu within a web page, the problem is it doesn't display the child elements if a parent is clicked on.

I don't really know a great deal about xsl so any help would be very much appreciated.

Many Thanks.
