Linking to child node and displaying DAMP image from child node

XSLT
I know this must be simple, but I'm not brilliant with XSLT and I can't figure out how to generate this sort of output using a child node's DAMP image as the link:

<a href="child node where DAMP image is from"><img src="DAMP image from child node"></a>

I can display the DAMP image on the parent node, OR I can link to the child node, but I can't figure out how to do both in the same XSLT..

Here's what I've got (link isn't working):
```
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/*/collectionsImages/DAMP/mediaItem">

      <xsl:apply-templates select="." />

    </xsl:for-each>

  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Image">
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
      <img src="{umbracoFile}" width="{umbracoWidth}" height="{umbracoHeight}" alt="{@nodeName}" />
    </a>
  </xsl:template>
```

Hi Laura,

The @id you need to send to the NiceUrl() function should be taken from the page that *contains* the DAMP picker, right? Thus:
```
<xsl:template match="Image">
    <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(ancestor::*[@isDoc][1]/@id)}">
        <img src="{umbracoFile}" width="{umbracoWidth}" height="{umbracoHeight}" alt="{@nodeName}" />
    </a>
</xsl:template>
```
The ancestor:: axis goes up the "parent" tree - we filter by [@isDoc] to only select Documents (not properties) and then we take the first we run into. From there, we grab the @id attribute.
