Please try this XSL..
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/xml">
<html>
<head>
<title/>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<xsl:for-each
select="List/Entry/Department[not(. =
preceding::Department)]">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="." /></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This is tested with IE 6 , and Saxon 6.5.3 .

Dear all,
Hope you can help with this query. I am new to
XML/XSLT.
I need to take the following XML and generate an
initial web page displaying only one instance of
each department name.
<xml>
<List>
<Entry>
<Session>2004/5</Session>
<Department>Accounting and Finance</Department>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<Session>2004/5</Session>
<Department>Accounting and Finance</Department>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<Session>2004/5</Session>
<Department>Maths</Department>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<Session>2004/5</Session>
<Department>Maths</Department>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<Session>2004/5</Session>
<Department>Economic History</Department>
</Entry>
</List>
</xml>
so in the html only unique departments would be
displayed once:
Accounting and Finance
Maths
Economic History
What's the best way to do this in xslt?
I understand that I can filter on specific names
within the xslt and do conditional
tests but I do not want to have to change the xslt
each time if the departments in the xml change.
Hope it makes sense.
Regards,
Mike
