This is not really accurate. This works only for th given
sequence, try placing "Dan" and "Steve" Authors in different
sequence and this breaks. Basically this works only if the
Element on which the key is generated are in consecutive
order. I would like the answer too! Thanks, Ashish
Yes, that is true, sorry
Just sort the <Title> elements by the Author and it will work
<xsl:template match="Store">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Author</td>
<td>Title</td>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:sort select="Author"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</table>
</xsl:template>

This is my xml
<Store>
<Title>
<Author>Steve</Author>
<Name>XSL</Name>
</Title>
<Title>
<Author>Steve</Author>
<Name>XML</Name>
</Title>
<Title>
<Author>Dan</Author>
<Name>HTML</Name>
</Title>
<Title>
<Author>Dan</Author>
<Name>XSL</Name>
</Title>
</Book>
I want to display the above xml as a html table with two
columns Author and
Titlle. My task is to display the Author's name only once.
The output should
be like this
Author Title
Steve XSL
XML
Dan HTML
XSL
You could use a variation of the muenchian method
<xsl:key match="Title" name="list" use="Author"/>
<xsl:template match="Store">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Author</td>
<td>Title</td>
</tr>
<!-- instead of applying just to the first element of each
group apply to all -->
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Title">
<tr>
<td>
<!-- display the Author if this is the first element of
the group -->
<xsl:if test="generate-id()=generate-id(key('list',Author))">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Author"/>
</xsl:if>
</td>
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Name"/>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
Hope this helps you.
