RE: Can you group in XSL?

Thanks. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I went through the
tutorial and I get no output. I do not know if it's because Jeni is loading
her stylesheets from XML files, which I can not do because I want to re-use
my XML files, because she is using SAXON, or some other reason.

I am loading the XML and XSL files from a HTML document and using the
command "return xml.transformNode(xsl);" to give me the output. The code
works find without grouping, but I want to group by category.

Here's my XML file:
ml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> 
<glossary>
<glossaryitem type="dsafasf">
	<category>Category 1</category>
	<english_title>Title 1</english_title>
	<english_description>Description</english_description>
	<uri>Link</uri>
</glossaryitem>	
<glossaryitem type="dsafasf">
	<category>Category 1</category>
	<english_title>Title 2</english_title>
	<english_description>Description</english_description>
	<uri>URL</uri>
</glossaryitem>	
</glossary>

------------------------ XSL file --------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
<xsl:key name="sorted-by-category" match="glossaryitemm" use="category" />
<xsl:template match="glossary">
<table>
    <xsl:for-each select="glossaryitem[count(. |
key('sorted-by-category',category)[1])=1]">
	<xsl:sort select="category" />
	<tr>
	<xsl:value-of select="category" />
	<xsl:for-each select="key('sorted-by-category', category)">
		<td>
		<ul>
		<li><a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="uri"
/></xsl:attribute>
		<strong><xsl:value-of select="uri" /></strong></a>
		<xsl:value-of select="english_description"/></li>
		</ul>
		</td>
	</xsl:for-each>
	</tr>
	<tr><td> </td></tr>
    </xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template> 
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi Doug,

Mike Kay answered to this question before:

Grouping isn't easy in XSLT 1.0 but you will find a full discussion of the
techniques at http://www.jenitennison.com/

More specific at http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/index.html
