Think i have worked out how to do some of it:
<xsl:for-each select="viewentry[count(. | key('ve-by-firstocc',
substring(entrydata[3]/text,1,1))[1]) = 1]">
<xsl:variable name="firstletternow"
select="substring(entrydata[3]/text,1,1)" />
<xsl:if test="key('ve-by-firstocc',$firstletternow)"><a
href="#{$firstletternow}"><xsl:value-of
select="substring(entrydata[3]/text,1,1)" /></a> | </xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="substring(entrydata[3]/text,1,1)" /> |
</xsl:for-each>
but this only loops around for the groups and therefore only displays links
for the groups. Id it possible to loop round the letter sof the alphabet??

Subject: [xsl] displaying selective links in ouput
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 09:48:23 +0000
Hello,
I am stil having a bit of trouble with the selective links problem.
Bascially i would like to display the the alpahbet at the top of the page
and have a link (#b for example) to a letter if a title starts with it.
E.g.
In this example B and D are links:
A, (B), C, (D), E.........X, Y, Z
B:
Banded substances
D:
Dont call
Dancing
I know that to take the first letter aoff teh title it would be
<xsl:value-of select="substring(entrydata[3]/text,1,1)" />.....
At the moment i have a key <xsl:key name="ve-by-firstoccurrence"
match="viewentry" use="substring(entrydata[3]/text,1,1)" /> which finds the
first occurrence of a letter and groups every other title according to
first letter..
thanks
james
