Compare Current Value to Preceeding Values

[redgrL86]

Hi,
I am trying to create an XSL document which will output the word "Header" only if the <StepRecipeID> string for the current step is not equal to the <StepRecipeID> from previous steps. Thus, for the XML below, the word "Header" should be output twice (once for each of the two steps in the XML) since each step has a different string value for the <StepRecipeID>. Likewise, if the <StepRecipeID> 's were the same strings, the output would only be one "Header".
Does anyone know how to do this with the XSL?? I am trying to use XPath code within the XSL but I don't know if that is correct and I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Thank you!
Christine


XSL Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 
<xsl:template match="/">
 
<xsl:for-each select="RecipeElement/Steps">
 
    <xsl:if test="'Step/StepRecipeID' != 'previous::*'">
 
        <t>Header </t>
 
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
 
 

XML Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet13.xsl"?>
<RecipeElement>
<RecipeElementID>UFDF_CLEANING</RecipeElementID>
    <Steps>
        <InitialStep XPos="700" YPos="100">
            <Name>INITIALSTEP:1</Name>
        </InitialStep>
        <TerminalStep XPos="50" YPos="50">
            <Name>TERMINALSTEP:1</Name>
        </TerminalStep>
 
        <Step XPos="600" YPos="500" AcquireUnit="true">
            <Name>Step 1</Name>
            <StepRecipeID>StepOne</StepRecipeID>
            <UnitAlias>UFDF_CLEANING:1</UnitAlias>
        </Step>
 
        <Step XPos="600" YPos="1000" AcquireUnit="true">
            <Name>Step 2</Name>
            <StepRecipeID>StepTwo</StepRecipeID>
            <UnitAlias>UFDF_CLEANING:1</UnitAlias>
        </Step>
    </Steps>
</RecipeElement>
