XSL for-each problem

Everyone,

 

I am trying to transform a stylesheet and I am running into a problem
with the <xsl:for-each> element.  I want to select all <violation>
elements underneath the <violations> element.  There are 3 shown in the
XML below.  Anyways, I am trying to use the XPath query
"//listing/violations/violation" but when I do, it loops through my code
12 times!  I am trying to find the right XPath query so that it only
searches 3 times.  Any help is appreciated.  Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi, Daniel

I can't tell why you got wrong result without seeing your stylesheet. Post 
your stylesheet, I may help.
