Change: <xsl:apply-templates select="//member[not(//following-sibling::member/child ::state = child::state)]" >
...to.... <xsl:apply-templates select="//member[not(following-sibling::member/child ::state = child::state)]" > It certainly appears that you've created some type of circular reference with the //following-sibling notation. Also, you might wish to use the xalan:distinct (or exslt:distinct) extension function, if platform-neutrality isn't important, as it is MUCH more efficient in extracting distinct node values. ================ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0" xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"; exclude-result-prefixes="xalan"> <xsl:output method="html" media-type="text/html"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title> <xsl:value-of select="/ushousemembers/metadata/congress" />, <xsl:value-of select="/ushousemembers/metadata/compiler" />, <xsl:value-of select="/ushousemembers/metadata/date" /> </title> <link href="http://cscie153.dce.harvard.edu/css/congress .css" type="text/css" rel= "stylesheet" /> </head> <body> <h1> <xsl:value-of select="/ushousemembers/metadata/congress" />, <xsl:value-of select="/ushousemembers/metadata/date" /> </h1> <xsl:for-each select="xalan:distinct(//member/state)"> [<xsl:value-of select="." />]<br /> </xsl:for-each> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ================ Rick Bullotta CTO Lighthammer Software (www.lighthammer.com) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bugzilla@;apache.org] Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 8:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DO NOT REPLY [Bug 14126] New: - Xalan hangs forever given this input DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14126>.
