Hi All I'm trying to get a list of distinct items from an XML. I've done this many times using a predicate containing a preceding axis, but this one has got me stumped: <page> <front_back>F</front_back> <page_no>1</page_no> <colours> <colour>Red</colour> <rgb>00FFFF</rgb> <colour>Green</colour> <rgb>00FF00</rgb> <colour>Blue</colour> <rgb>FFFF00</rgb> </colours> </page> <page> <front_back>F</front_back> <page_no>2</page_no> <colours> <colour>Green</colour> <rgb>FFFFFF</rgb> </colours> </page> <page> <front_back>F</front_back> <page_no>3</page_no> <colours> <colour>Green</colour> <rgb>00FF00</rgb> </colours> </page> I need to return a nodeset with a list of DISTINCT colour nodes, that I can then process in a for-each element. The other conditions for selection are: colour is not Red or Blue rgb value is not FFFFFF I somehow need to combine the following predicates (I think) colours/colour[. != 'Red' and . != 'Blue'] colours/rgb[. != 'FFFFFF'] colours/colour[not(. = preceding-sibling::colour)] I'm stuck with XSL 1.0 and would like to avoid using keys if possible Any suggestions greatly appreciated Regards Mark
