RE: To eliminate duplicate entries

If you have to filter out employees with duplicate empId:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8"/>

  <xsl:key name="employee" use="empId" match="/*/employee"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <result>
      <xsl:copy-of select="*/employee[count(.|key('employee', empId)[1]
)=1]"/>
    </result>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi Mukul,
  Thanks ...
By the by..If my XML data is of the following foramt...

<example>
	<employee name="ppp">
            <empId>111</empId>
         </employee>
	<employee name="xxx"/>
              <empId>222</empId>
         </employee>
	<employee name="yyy"/>
              <empId>111</empId>
         </employee>
</example>

Now what I have to use in the place @name (I guess this for attribute)
If my empID is of this type ...

Thanks,
Pratibha
