Hi, I'm stuck with following XSLT processing problem: Source XML ========== <object id="objectA"> <property typeName="PropA"> <value>Jack</value> </property> </object> <object id="objectB"> <property typeName="PropB"> <value>Jim</value> </property> </object> <object id="objectC"> <property typeName="PropC"> <value>John</value> </property> </object> Now my XSLT script process the Source XML-file so that some of the elements ('objectA', 'objectB'. 'objectC') may be resulted in the beginning of the result file (or may not, based on the XSLT rules). That XSLT script part + rules works fine! But in case that element ('objectB' in my sample) is defined already in the beginning of the result file and then the same used later in the document, this element should be referenced by href (not generated the full information again!). (In cases where element is not defined in the beginning, it should be reported fully, this works fine!). So my question is: How to know which objects / elements have been handled/defined already in the output, so that I could use href in those cases? Expected output: ================ <!-- File starts --> <object id="objectB"> <property typeName="PropB"> <name>Jim</name> </property> </object> <!-- ... --> <!-- File continues --> <!-- ... --> <Model> <object id="objectA"> <property typeName="PropA"> <name>Jack</name> </property> </object> <object href="#objectB"/> <object id="objectC"> <property typeName="PropC"> <name>John</name> </property> </object> </Model> <!-- File ends --> Thanks in advance Janne
