Hi Dimitre,

Thanks. It works as expected.

Use something like this:

  <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"

  <xsl:key name="kattName" match="@name" use="."/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="//*[key('kattName',
@name)[2]]">
      <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When this transformation is applied on this
source.xml:

<M name="a">
  <N> </N>
  <M name="b">
    <N name="a"> 12</N>
    <MM name="c"/>
  </M>
</M>

it produces all elements having "name" attributes
with non-unique value:

<M name="a" />
<N name="a" />

Hi,

I want to XSLT to validate the uniqueness for the
name
attribute in an XML file. The result will print
out
any elements with the duplicated name attributes.

Basically, XSLT needs to look at all the elements
with
name attribute and check the uniqueness for its
value.

Is there a good way to do that in XSLT?

Thank for any input/comment.

Here is the sample XML

<M name="a">
  <N></N>
  <M name="b">
    <N>12<N>
    <MM name="c"/>
  </M>
</M>
