I'm new to XSL(T) and so far I have not been able to think of a way of achieving the required transform using XSLT and I think I'm going to have to result to using some JavaScript or may be some plain old C code :-( What I want to be able to do is transform this: <PRODUCTS> <PRODUCT name="bill_product"> <OPTIONLIST name="fred"> <!-- The first 'fred' option list --> <OPTION>fred1</OPTION> <OPTION>fred2</OPTION> </OPTIONLIST> <OPTIONLIST name="george"> <OPTION>george1</OPTION> </OPTIONLIST> </PRODUCT> <PRODUCT name="bob_product"> <OPTIONLIST name="fred"> <!-- The second 'fred' optionlist --> <OPTION>fred3</OPTION> <OPTION>fred4</OPTION> </OPTIONLIST> <OPTIONLIST name="george"> <OPTION>george2</OPTION> </OPTIONLIST> </PRODUCT> <PRODUCTS> Into this: <OPTIONLIST name="fred"> <!-- All the 'fred' optionlist's merged into one --> <OPTION>fred1</OPTION> <OPTION>fred2</OPTION> <OPTION>fred3</OPTION> <OPTION>fred4</OPTION> </OPTIONLIST> <OPTIONLIST name="george"> <!-- All the 'george' optionlist's merged into one --> <OPTION>george1</OPTION> <OPTION>george2</OPTION> </OPTIONLIST> If the transform was literally just this one case then it wouldn't be a problem however I want to be able to merge all OPTIONLIST's with the same name into one OPTIONLIST with that name i.e. I don't want to be limited to just 'fred' and 'george' option lists but I want to have any number of different named OPTIONLIST's and have them merged. Is this possible using just XSLT (in which case I guess I just don't have a good enough understanding yet) or am I going to have to use a procedural langauge to solve this part?
