For some reason the example code in O'Reilly XSLT Cookbook 2e, for Muenchian grouping did not work (no details only a summary) and poking about with it didn't make it work. In fact, only the first grouping example in chapter 10 (Recipe 10.3. Creating HTML Tables) would work for me in FF. I will def. read the article Richard posted. | |
