RE: [xsl] Unique Attribute value

Thanks Rummy.

Okay that gives me 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>p2 
in output, meaning that "p2" has occurred more than once/multiple times.

Thanks for your time. I think I need to revisit my requirements and get 
back to you all.

Thanks again.
Best,
Pankaj

RE: [xsl] Unique Attribute value






Hi,

Check with the below model:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//x">
<xsl:if test="@id = following::x/@id">
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

regards,
Rummy

Subject: [xsl] Unique Attribute value

Hello all,

Is there a way to check whether an element's attribute has unique value
in 
xml structure and is not repeating. 

For instance, in below sample xml "p1" is repeating twice and any good 
parser will throw an error for it, though I would like it to check it
with 
XSLT itself. Weird, I know. I am just trying to figure out the best 
possible way to get this done.

My actual requirement is little bit more complex but thought of starting

asking with this. 


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
        <x id="p1">xxx</x>
        <x id="p2">yyy</x>
    <b>
        <x id="p3">zzz</x>
        <x id="p1">AAA</x>
    </b>
</root>

TIA,
Pankaj
