xsl distinct nodes
Hi Gregory,

if you add the node-number to the stylesheet:

Node:  <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::*) + 1"/>

you can see this output:

specific date:
PageName: A Date: 31502 Node: 7
PageName: A Date: 31502 Node: 8
PageName: B Date: 31502 Node: 9
PageName: B Date: 31502 Node: 10
PageName: C Date: 31502 Node: 11
PageName: C Date: 31502 Node: 12

distinct pagename:
PageName: A Date: 21502 Node: 1
PageName: B Date: 21502 Node: 3
PageName: C Date: 21502 Node: 5

Now find a node, which is in both groups. You won't find one and the
stylesheet finds no node too. This is because before the '31502'-nodes there
is always another node with '21502', so the test on pagename is always
wrong. You have to add the date-test to the pagename-test too:

<xsl:apply-templates
select="records/record[translate(date,'/','')='31502'][not(preceding-sibling
::record[translate(date,'/','')='31502']/pagename = pagename)]"/>

Output:

PageName: A Date: 31502 Node: 7
PageName: B Date: 31502 Node: 9
PageName: C Date: 31502 Node: 11

Regards,

Joerg

> Hi.  I am trying to get all the "distinct" records (by "pagename") for a
specific date.  If I filter for just the "distinct" records it works.  If I
filter for just the "specific" date it works.  If I do both at the same time
it doesn't work.  Does anyone have any idea what I need to do differently?
Thanks
