Re: [xsl] Distinct values with XPath query in stylesheet

["Matthew Hailstone" <matthew.hailstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the tidbit. I will definitely remember that little handy function. :)

After creating my test.xml and looking at the XPath query with
different node names, I did some more testing and found a solution for
XPath 1.0.

The XPath in the fee-type-defs template is:
//RECORDABLE_DOCUMENT/FEES/FEE[@Description=$feeName and
not(@*[name()=$feeValueAttr]=parent::node()/parent::node()/preceding-sibling::node()/FEES/FEE[@Description=$feeName]/@*[name()=$feeValueAttr])]

I also modified the XPath query in the sort-Fees template:
FEES/FEE[not(@Description=parent::node()/parent::node()/preceding-sibling::node()/FEES/FEE/@Description)]

I wasn't taking into consideration the parent structure being so far back. :)

Thanks again!
Matthew
