Re: Grouping

Hi Ragulf,
           I  take back my previous post as I don't see where I am wrong.
The muenchian grouping is not required for the answers and only for the
questions that too only if the OP is prticular about it.

Otherwise, my code should work fine.

Will you not have a problem here, if question_id are not ordered?
As I read it, you go through all row elements. You check if the value
of question_id is the first of its kind, and if it is, you write the
Answers to question...
Then you proceed to write the value of the answer element.
As I see it, <xsl:value-of select="key('rec', question_id)/answer"/>
is the same as <xsl:value-of select="answer"/>, and as you have not
made sure of the value of question_id in your for-each, then this can
be wrong.

If I have not understood this correctly, please correct me.

A key approach, I would use (modifying your template):

<xsl:for-each select="row[generate-id(.) = generate-id(key('rec',
question_id))]">
Answers for question <xsl:value-of select="question_id"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="key('rec', question_id)/answer">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

This one will work no matter the order of question_id's.
