ASP,

Your code looks fine. It's not clear why you're not getting the values, assuming everything in your source and stylesheet is as given.

All I can suggest is that you post again with a *complete* sample input and stylesheet the demonstrates the problem (it's good for it to be trimmed down, but it should be ready to run), which we can paste somewhere and test.

It's also wise to tell us what processor you're using, etc., although this particular problem doesn't look very likely to be a processor bug....

Cheers,
Wendell

Hi, folks.

I have the following stylesheet.

============================================================================

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:key name="x" match="address" use="zip"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <root>
      <countMethod>
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="item-detail"
select="addressbook/address[count(. | key('x', zip)[1])=1]"/>
      </countMethod>
    </root>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="address" mode="item-detail">
    <Name>
      <xsl:value-of select="id"/>
      <xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
      <xsl:value-of select="name/last-name"/>
      <xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
      <xsl:value-of select="zip"/>
    </Name>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Here's a snippet of the XML document to be transformed.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<addressbook>
  <address>
    <name>
      <first-name>Mary</first-name>
      <last-name>Backstayge</last-name>
    </name>
    <street>283 First Avenue</street>
    <city>Skunk Haven</city>
    <state>MA</state>
    <zip>02718</zip>
    <id>10</id>
  </address>
... (etc) ...
============================================================================

For some reason the value of <id> is not returned. Here's the output, as it
reflects the entire XML source document.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <countMethod>
    <Name>, Frisby, 48392</Name>
    <Name>, Backstayge, 02718</Name>
    <Name>, Attired, 00218</Name>
    <Name>, McGoon, 27318</Name>
    <Name>, Reckonwith, 02930</Name>
  </countMethod>
</root>

Does anyone know why the <id> element values are not returned?
