RE: Problem writing a XSLT stylesheet

Hi,

   If you recall my problem. It remains same. I wrote
in my problem ..

  "the first <TAG> tag will have data and will not be
present in tags after that unless there is a change in
these tag's value"

Can I test when the value of <A> tag changes? I want
to display a line break as '---------' when value of
<A> will change..?

So your problem is basically a grouping one. See Jeni's grouping pages, 
<http://jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping> IIRC.

<xsl:key name="x" match="TAG[not(A)]" use="generate-id(preceding::A[1])" />

<xsl:template match="/">
  <!--get all TAGs with A-->
  <xsl:for-each select="rootelem/TAG[A]">
    <xsl:variable name="x" select="A" />
    <!--process current TAG and all following without A before next TAG with 
A-->
    <xsl:for-each select=". | key('x', generate-id($x))">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$x = 'value1'">Label1</xsl:when>
        <xsl:when test="$x = 'value2'">Label2</xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>Label3</xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
      <xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:text>&#xA;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:for-each>
    <xsl:text>---------&#xA;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

You still didn't show us your desired output, so again I'm assuming this is 
what you want. It uses node identity in case there are multiple TAG elements 
with the same value for A child. It's the fourth Monday of this week and my 
knees are busted, so it shouldn't be a surprise that there a probably faster 
ways to solve this.
