Re: FIRST-OCCURENCE

You could do something like


<xsl:apply-templates select="colors/colorids/color[@type = 'rude']" />


Then, have a template

<xsl:template match="color">
        <xsl:if test='position() = 1'>******</xsl:if><xsl:value-of 
select="text" />
</xsl:template>

By selecting only those nodes you want in the <xsl:apply-templates />, you 
can use position() to recognize the first occurrence.

hi i have a prob

i have an xml file that looks like below

<colors>
   <colorids>
        <color id = '1' type = 'pleasent'>
                <text> maroon </text>
        </color>
</colorids>
<colorids>
        <color id = '2' type = 'rude'>
                <text> red </text>
        </color>
</colorids>
<colorids>
        <color id = '3' type = 'pleasent'>
                <text> blue </text>
        </color>
</colorids>
<colorids>
        <color id = '4' type = 'happy'>
                <text> green </text>
        </color>
</colorids>
<colorids>
        <color id = '5' type = 'rude'>
                <text> orange </text>
        </color>
</colorids>
<colorids>
        <color id = '6' type = 'rude'>
                <text> bright yellow </text>
        </color>
</colorids>


</colors>

i run a for-each for colors and want to attach ***** to the text
of first occurence of the color with type = 'rude' and display the
subsequent color text in a normal way
example,
i want the display of the above xml file to be like ..
*****red
orange
yellow


how do i do it.. I wanted to make use of the position() but
position would only help me in getting the position of the
nodes..
and i dont know which node has the required text. The only thing i
know in the logic is , on the first occurence of a node, i need to
append the *****

Can some one help me?
