> <xsl:template match="//a"> > <xsl:for-each select="@href"> > <xsl:if test="not(for $x in //@id return > $x[$x=current()])"> This is very peculiar coding! (a) Don't write match="//a", write match="a". The meaning is 99% the same except (i) the precedence of the rule is different, and (ii) the second form is cheaper because it doesn't have to check that the element is part of a document tree. (b) It's odd to do a for-each over a singleton. (c) The construct (for $x in EXP return $x[PRED]) is equivalent to EXP[PRED] So you could write <xsl:template match="a"> <xsl:if test="not(//@id[. = current()/@href])"> (d) For repeated searches like this it's best to define a key: <xsl:key name="k" match="*" use="@id"/> then <xsl:template match="a <xsl:if test="not(key('k', @href))"> <!-- This is where I would like to write the code to assign serial number--> The simplest way to do this is to only select the <a> elements you want to include in the table; then position() gives you what you need: <xsl:key name="k" match="*" use="@id"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <table> <xsl:apply-templates select="//a[not(key('k', @href))]"> </table> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="a"> <tr> <td> <xsl:value-of select="position()"/> </td> <td> <xsl:value-of select="@href"/> </td> </tr> </xsl:template> Regards, Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ http://twitter.com/michaelhkay
