Thanks David,

your solution works. This was what I needed. Now I have to read a little about what xls:key does to also understand this. :-)

Betreff: Re: AW:  XPATH restricting preceding nodes



ok so you probly do want to use muenchian grouping...

you want to key off the page identity and the  text attribute, so
<xsl:key name="x" match="entry"
use="concat(generate-id(ancestor::page[1]),' ',@text")/>

then to get if you are on a page element, to get all the entry elements
you just need

select=".//entry[generate-id()=generate-id(key('x',
concat(generate-id(ancestor::page[1]),' ',@text"))[1])]"/>

ie select all the entries thatare the first node returned with the key
for that entry.

David
