RE: [xsl] find Unique Nodes based on 2 Attributes

["Damian Mcbride" <damian dot mcbride at anam dot com>]

I assume you mean a command like this....

<xsl:apply-templates select="Subscriber[not
(@alertmethod=following::Subscriber/@alertmethod and
@language=following::Subscriber/@language) ]"/>

This works as expected for the original source, but when I add two more
elements I find problems.

<Alert>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="001" language="fr" alertmethod="SMS"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="002" language="en" alertmethod="SMS"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="003" language="en" alertmethod="SMS"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="004" language="de" alertmethod="email"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="005" language="It" alertmethod="NokiaSmart"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="006" language="It" alertmethod="NokiaSmart"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="007" language="de" alertmethod="NokiaSmart"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="008" language="de" alertmethod="SMS"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="009" language="de" alertmethod="NokiaSmart"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="010" language="en" alertmethod="SMS"/>
</Alert>

Expected result
	<Subscriber phonenumber="001" language="fr" alertmethod="SMS"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="003" language="en" alertmethod="SMS"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="004" language="de" alertmethod="email"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="006" language="It" alertmethod="NokiaSmart"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="007" language="de" alertmethod="NokiaSmart"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="008" language="de" alertmethod="SMS"/>

Acutal result
	<Subscriber phonenumber="001" language="fr" alertmethod="SMS"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="003" language="en" alertmethod="SMS"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="004" language="de" alertmethod="email"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="006" language="It" alertmethod="NokiaSmart"/>
	<Subscriber phonenumber="007" language="de" alertmethod="NokiaSmart"/>


This node is now missing from the result
	<Subscriber phonenumber="008" language="de" alertmethod="SMS"/>



Thanks in advance
Damian
