Rick,

your description is much harder to parse than xml document:)

can you send a sample of desired output based on your xml document and we may be able to help you.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have attached an image of how the xsl is to render the XML.

If you need anything further, feel free to ask.

Thanks

Rick

the problem is you hardcode class=highlight in the <li> element. you should do it dynamically by checking if the hot topic is the first one in it's group. try this:
<li>
<xsl:if test="position()=1">
<xsl:attribute name="class">
<xsl:value-of select="'highlight'"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</li>

hope this helps

Thanks for your help.

There is just one proplem, your method is assuming that the first position is a chkHOT = Y. It is not always going to be like that. The logic goes like this: 2 LOOPS. First LOOP
Find all the chkHOT=Y, loop through them and only display the first - where position = 1. That is easy. SECOND LOOP. I need to display the rest of the records. I loop through all records and want to display all except the one I displayed in LOOP 1. How do I tell my loop to display all of the records ecxcept the one I just displayed above. Variables are only local to the For Loop so I cannot check to see which one I have just displayed in the previous loop.

Thanks again for working on this - it is greatly appreciated!

you use diffrent xpath predicate in two loops, don't you?

in the loop 1, you use [contains(., chKHot='Y')], in loop2, you use [not contains(., chKHot='Y')]. this will make sure two loops works on diffrent nodeset, and what displayed in the first loop should not appear in second loop, right?

did I miss anything?

I hate to shoot down but it may be that my explanation may not be detailed enough. If I use two loops, which I have done, it gives me all the chkHOT=Y and I display the first one. Only one chkHOT per group may be displayed. the group may have more than one chkHOT. So what then happends to the other hot ones? If I output them and simply not highlight them, they are then out of order according to date.
So if we have

A is Hot, B is Hot, C is NOT, D is NOT, E is Hot. The first loop gives us ABE. I highlight A, do not highlight BE. Then output C and D. The dates are then out of order cause C and D have a later deate than E yet E occurs before C and D in my display.

Now I have totally lost you!

Thanks for you help!

you need variable to remember the first hot topic. then skip it in second loop. try the following.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="group" select="sys_AssemblerInfo/RelatedContent/linkurl/Value[contains(@current,'type=Policy')]"/>
<xsl:variable name="firstHot" select="$group[contains(@current,'chkHot=Y')][1]"/>

<li class="highlight">
<xsl:copy-of select="document($firstHot/@current)"/>
</li>

<xsl:for-each select="$group[@current != $firstHot/@current]">
<li>
<xsl:copy-of select="document(@current)."/>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
