Combine elements question

XadRav · January 27th, 2011, 01:02 PM

My xml looks something like this:

Code:

<Staff>
     <Row alphakey="doejohn" building="abc" class="Algebra" />
     <Row alphakey="doejohn" building="abc" class="Geometry" />
     <Row alphakey="personbob" building="abc" class="Calculus" />
     <Row alphakey="personbob" building="abc" class="Precalc" />
...
</Staff>

And basically I need it to output like this:

Code:

Alphakey       Classes
doejohn        Algebra, Geometry
personbob      Calculus, Precalc

I've searched for how to do this with a merge, but I can't quite figure it out, and most examples look different from what I am trying to do. Can someone help me with this? Again, xslt 1.0

EDIT: I fixed the code a little, I pasted it twice.

If you have to use XSLT 1.0 then you'll want to look at Muenchian grouping, see here for an introduction: http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/gro...muenchian.html

Like I said in my other post, I am already using Munchian grouping, but using it a second time here is a pretty good idea, and I think it may work. I'll give it a try on Monday and report back what works, thanks!
