Hi again,
I am obviously not so bright. I have tried to apply
many of the code samples, and keep getting an error
along the lines of "xsl:for-each-group not permitted at
this position in the XSL".
Here is what my xml looks like:
------------------------------
<Response>
<Record>
<Field FieldName="COUNTRY">France</Field>
<Field FieldName="COUNTRY">USA</Field>
<Field FieldName="HEADLINE">Blah, blah, blah</Field>
...More XML omitted goes here...
</Record>
</Response>
As mentioned, I used a simple xsl sheet that includes
<xsl:template match="Field">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:template>
(HTML omitted)
This results in a table with one row per Field. When
there is more than one instance of a field/attribute, I
would like to only have one row. So, in this case, I
would have "France, USA" on one row in my table instead
of across 2 rows.
I would appreciate a little direction if possible.
Thanks
JIM

XSLT 2.0 has an instruction xsl:for-each-group to

Subject: [xsl] XSL Newbie seeks help
HI,
I searched the archives and must admit I am not sure
if
I found what I needed, as a lot of what I see is all
new to me.
I am successfully applying a very basic XSL sheet to
an
XML document using <xsl:template match="Field">
against
an XML document which has multiple "Field" nodes but
with different names, like this:
<Field FieldName="DOCID">abc1223</Field>
<Field FieldName="COUNTRY">USA</Field>
<Field FieldName="COUNTRY">Canada</Field>
This works great, but as you may have noticed, some
fields have the same FieldName attribute, and
sometimes
there can be a dozen countries, and this make my
transformed document (HTML table) much longer as it
creates a row for each COUNTRY entry.
How would I evaluate that there is more than one
occurance of the Field/FieldName combination so
that I
can create a concatenated list of contries so as to
display them all on only one row?
Any help appreciated.
Jim
