Duplicate XSLT Output

T

thomas

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

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:eek:utput method="html"/>

<xsl:param name="text1" />

<xsl:template match="/">

<html>

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" />
<title>Results</title>
</head>

<body>

<table class="three" align="center">

<col width="35%"/>
<col width="35%"/>
<col width="15%"/>
<col width="15%"/>

<tr>
<th class="head">Artist</th>
<th class="head">Song</th>
<th class="head">Chord</th>
<th class="head">Midi</th>
</tr>

<xsl:for-each select="cat/links[contains(artist,$text1)]">

<tr>
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="./artist"/></td>
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="./song"/></td>
<xsl:variable name="link1"><xsl:apply-templates
select="./chord"/></xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="link2"><xsl:apply-templates

</xsl:for-each>

<xsl:for-each select="cat/links[contains(song,$text1)]">

<xsl:variable name="link1"><xsl:apply-templates

<xsl:variable name="link2"><xsl:apply-templates

<td><a href="{$link2}" target="_blank">play</a></td>
</tr>

</xsl:for-each>

</table>

<div align="center">
<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Click here to return to search page</a>
</div>

</body>

</html>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Try

<xsl:apply-templates
select="cat/links[contains(artist,$text1)]|cat/links[contains(song,$text1)]/">

instead of that duplicate "xsl:for-each" elements.

Then, any element "cat/links[...]" should be matched just one time using

<xsl:template
match="cat/links[contains(artist,$text1)]|cat/links[contains(song,$text1)]">
<tr>......................</tr>
</xsl:template>
