Re: formatting alert message with distinct-values()

After a good night sleep it is clear why the originally posted code did
not work. I have modified it as shown below and now every error is
mentioned only once.

Some background info - my form can have the same field displayed
multiple times and I had to do this to avoid displaying the alert
messages multiple times when the classic XForms engine determines that
such a repeated field is violating some model constrain.

     <!-- - - - - - - Legacy XForms templates - - - - - - -->

     <xsl:template match="f:alerts">
         <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"
style="background: #FFCCCC; margin: 1em; padding: .5em">
             <tr>
                 <td valign="top"><img
src="/images/error-large.gif"/></td>
                 <td valign="top" style="padding-left: 1em">
                     Please correct the errors on this page.
                     <xsl:variable name="alerts"
select="distinct-values(node())"/>
                     <xsl:if test="f:alert">
                         <ul>
                             <xsl:for-each select="$alerts">
                                 <li><xsl:value-of select="."/></li>
                             </xsl:for-each>
                         </ul>
                     </xsl:if>
                 </td>
             </tr>
         </table>
     </xsl:template>
