I'm building a guitar website which uses XML and XSLT.
http://www.madtim67.com/guitar/index.html You can search either by artist or
song. I used the <xsl:if test="contains(artist ,$text1)"> line which worked
OK except now I get some duplicate output (go to the website and enter 'a'
to see what I mean. I included a unique id node in my xml file to make every
record unique. Is there a way that I can check the output the unique id
field only once.
Heres my XSL page
