Ive noticed if i try to apply changed to a XSL file through java script it only affects the top most node created by the XSL.
Example:
I want to hide all the comments of multiple blog entries. Result only the top blog entry will hide the comments.
I want to change the text of a hyper link. The hyperlink text will only change in top most node.
How can I get the java script to affect all nodes created by the XSL file?

The changes are perfect in the first blog entry. A link is created to show and hide the comments. But no where else is it working.
Try to use unique IDs for A and DIV tags by using generate-id() function.
Some changes in XSLT:
Also you need to change JS functions:
