[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] selecting unique entries from a list
Dear all, Hope you can help with this query. I am new to XML/XSLT. I need to take the following XML and generate an initial web page displaying only one instance of each department name. <xml> <List> <Entry> <Session>2004/5</Session> <Department>Accounting and Finance</Department> </Entry> <Entry> <Session>2004/5</Session> <Department>Accounting and Finance</Department> </Entry> <Entry> <Session>2004/5</Session> <Department>Maths</Department> </Entry> <Entry> <Session>2004/5</Session> <Department>Maths</Department> </Entry> <Entry> <Session>2004/5</Session> <Department>Economic History</Department> </Entry> </List> </xml> so in the html only unique departments would be displayed once: Accounting and Finance Maths Economic History What's the best way to do this in xslt? I understand that I can filter on specific names within the xslt and do conditional tests but I do not want to have to change the xslt each time if the departments in the xml change. Hope it makes sense. Regards, Mike
