Hi all,


I'm trying to select a series of nodes, only if they have a certain 
attribute (called yearend). This is a snippet of the XML

<ESTIMATES>
	<ESTIMATE>
		<ANNUALFORECAST yearend="12/1999F">
			<ESTIMATEDATA>
			<SALES name="Sales">25</SALES>
			</ESTIMATEDATA>			
		</ANNUALFORECAST>
		<ANNUALFORECAST yearend="12/2000F">
			<ESTIMATEDATA>
			<SALES name="Sales">27</SALES>
			</ESTIMATEDATA>			
		</ANNUALFORECAST>			
	</ESTIMATE>
	<ESTIMATE>
		<ANNUALFORECAST>
			<ESTIMATEDATA>
			<SALES>25</SALES>
			</ESTIMATEDATA>
		</ANNUALFORECAST>
		<ANNUALFORECAST>
			<ESTIMATEDATA>
			<SALES>27</SALES>
			</ESTIMATEDATA>
		</ANNUALFORECAST>				
		</ESTIMATE>
</ESTIMATES>


And this is the XSL:

<xsl:template match="ESTIMATES">
<xsl:for-each select="ESTIMATE/ANNUALFORECAST[@yearend]">
<TD COLSPAN="5">
<xsl:value-of select="@yearend"/>
</TD>
</xsl:for-each>


I thought that the 'for-each' I have on the second line would only
select ANNUALFORECAST where it had a yearend attribute, but the HTML
that is being produced has a number of extra (empty) table cells. Which
funnily enough corresponds to the total amount of ANNUALFORECAST's in
the branch.


I've been banging my head against this problem for a couple of days now,
and it's got to the stage where I probably couldn't see the right answer
if it landed on my desk in a gold sequinned ballgown.

Have I seriously missed something in the XSLT spec?

Thanks for any help or pointers.


Garrett.
