hey
How can I do this recursively to an infinite depth:

Code:

 
<xsl:for-each select="li">
<dt><a href="{@href}"><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></a></dt>
<xsl:if test="count(*) &gt; 0">
<dd id="smenu1">[list]
<xsl:for-each select="li">
<li><a href="{@href}"><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></a></li>  </xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</dd>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

cheers

Not really sure what you're trying to achieve here, but start by doing it using template rules rather than xsl:for-each. Something like:

<xsl:template match="li">
<dt><a href="{@href}"><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></a></dt>
<xsl:if test="*">
<dd id="smenu1">[list]
<xsl:apply-templates select="li"/>
</ul></dd>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
