Hi everyone,

I'm now developing left menu for my Umbraco site, and I want it to get all subitems from the current first page in the hierarchy (under the "/"). But when I'm trying to get this node, nothing is returned.  Could you please help me with this issue?

Here is how I'm trying to get the first node:

<xsl:variable name="ancestorNode" select = "$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=1]/node"/>

and then using it in the loop:

<xsl:for-each select="$ancestorNode/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1']">

Here is also the full code:
