Your XML doesn't include a DISPLAYLOCATIONS element, and this code is so
obviously ill-formed:

>      <xsl:for-each select="LISTOFDISPLAYLOCATIONS/DISPLAYLOCATION">
>           <xls:variable id="locationId"          
> select="DISPLAYLOCATIONID"/>
>               <xsl:if test"$locationId =3">

that I'm not going to start working out what you might have meant. Please
take a little more care over the questions you send to this list if you want
people to take care over the answers.
