Code:

<careers  dcr="/xxxx/Careers/data/ij-NewYorkHeadTesting">
     <location>New York</location> 

    <jobtitle>New York Head Of Testing</jobtitle> 

    <departmentoverview>AAAAAAA010AAAAAAA020AAAAAAA030AAAAAAA040AAAAAAA050AAAAAAA060AAAAAAA070AAAAAAA080AAAAAAA090AAAAAAA100AAAAAAA110AAAAAAA120AAAAAAA130AAAAAAA140AAAAAAA150AAAAAAA160AAAAAAA170AAAAAAA180AAAAAAA190AAAAAAA200AAAAAAA210AAAAAAA220AAAAAAA230AAAAAAA240AAAAAAA250AAAAAAA260AAAAAAA270AAAAAAA280AAAAAAA290AAAAAAA300AAAAAAA310AAAAAAA320AAAAAAA330AAAAAAA340AAAAAAA350AAAAAAA360AAAAAAA370AAAAAAA380AAAAAAA390AAAAAAA400AAAAAAA410AAAAAAA420AAAAAAA430AAAAAAA440AAAAAAA450AAAAAAA460AAAAAAA470AAAAAAA480AAAAAAA490AAAAAAA500</departmentoverview>

    <active>Yes</active> 

   </careers>

I am using the following xsl to display career titles (sorted) by location which

Code:

<xsl:for-each select="$dcr[generate-id() = generate-id(key('by-location', location)[1])]">
             <xsl:sort select="location"/>
              <tr valign="top">
           <td valign="top">
                      <xsl:if test="active  = 'Yes'">
                        <b><a name="{location}"><xsl:value-of select="location"/></a></b><br/>
                        <xsl:for-each select="key('by-location',location)/jobtitle">
                          <xsl:sort select="."/> 
                          <a href="$PAGE_LINK[information/about/Careers/careers-detail]dcr={$dcr/@dcr}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a><br/>
                        </xsl:for-each>   
                      </xsl:if>
                </td>
         </tr>
             </xsl:for-each>

Essentially my problem, is that now that I have the nested for each, which works for the sorting of the job titles within the location, the @dcr only picks up the 1st dcr.

What do I have to do/add to make

Code:

<a href="$PAGE_LINK[information/about/Careers/careers-detail]dcr={@dcr}"><xsl:value-of select="jobtitle"/></a><br/>

work within the 2nd <xsl:for each />. It works within the first <xsl:for-each/>, but that is not what I need.
