Re: Testing if all child nodes match (based on the val

Hi All

I'm stuck with trying to figure something out in an XSL style sheet. I
can't post may actual data, as it's confidential, so I've made up an
example:

<group>
	<person>
		<name>John</name>
		<age>42</age>
		<sex>M</sex>
		marital_status>S<marital_status>
<snip />

What I want to do is find out if the group contains all people of the
same sex and age (in this case it does). So in my example xml structure,
for every person in the group <age> and <sex> must be the same (but I've
no idea what their values will be at run time: i.e. I can't check if age
is '42' and sex = 'M').

(: returns false precisely when you want true() to return :)
group/person/sex !=group/person/sex

(: reverse the result :)
not(group/person/sex !=group/person/sex)

(: full expression :)
not(group/person/sex !=group/person/sex) and
not(group/person/age !=group/person/age)
