Question simple XSL question?
I have an XML output file...

i want to apply a different transformation to a node if it is the first node that contains a child node with a particular value...

The data is sorted by that particular child node
ie.

if i had
Code:
<record>
  <class>Important</class>
</record>
<record>
  <class>Important</class>
</record>
<record>
  <class>For Review</class
</record>


i would want the first "Important" Record to be transformed differently, as well as the "For Review"

basically i need to compare the class child of the current record with that of the previous' but i have no clue how!

Any help would be much appreciated!

You can use XPath to achieve this w/o doing a loop and comparing.
Code:
select="record[1]/class" // first one
select="record[count(record)]/class" // last one

Sorry. I came up with that off the top of my head and I too am still learning all this X* stuff. This should work (I actually tested it this time).
Code:
select="record[last()]/class"
