Hi all.
I want to group nodes in an XML file, placing a heading above each
category. The category is defined in an attribute which may be the same
for a series of records. The code sample below shows what I want to do.
I've been going round in circles trying combinations of variables,
templates, for-each loops and I just can't seem to get a handle on the
problem. Any help would be very gratefully received.
XML Source:
<authors>
<author name="Steven King">
<book genre="Drama" name="Book 1" />
<book genre="Drama" name="Book 2" />
<book genre="Drama" name="Book 3" />
<book genre="Sci-Fi" name="Book 4" />
<book genre="Sci-Fi" name="Book 5" />
</author>
<author name="Bill Bryson">
<book genre="Travel" name="Book 1" />
<book genre="Travel" name="Book 2" />
<book genre="History" name="Book 3" />
</author>
</authors>
Desired output:
<h2>Steven King</h2>
<h3>Drama</h3>
<ul>
<li>Book 1</li>
<li>Book 2</li>
<li>Book 3</li>
</ul>
<h3>Sci-Fi</h3>
<ul>
<li>Book 4</li>
<li>Book 5</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bill Bryson</h2>
<h3>Travel</h3>
<ul>
<li>Book 1</li>
<li>Book 2</li>
</ul>
<h3>History</h3>
<ul>
<li>Book 3</li>
</ul>
I am using classic ASP, MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0
