Retaining Capitalization

[awitt]

Hello All! So, I need some help on a familiar project. It's that darn XSLT I was having problems with that while ago. Everything is pretty much finished on it, but there are a couple rather persistent bugs that I cannot seem to work out on my own.1.) Retaining capitalization. -- If you look at the search() function, you can see why it won't keep the capital letters where they should be; I'm basing my replacement string on the characters typed into the input box. How can I recognize a capital letter and keep it in its appropriate spot within the replacement string?2.) Also, when transforming against the XML document, there are other problems sometimes. -- For example, sometimes the XML contains duplicate records (even with the same unique id). Now, I cannot control that - the XML is maintained by some kind of state database or something like that, so I can't alter it - I have to handle that. So, it comes into play when people are using the search or filter functionality. If the duplicate records aren't matches for whatever search, the program will hide the first instance of that duplicate record, but not the second instance. That means that although a user may have searched for "ohio," there's a result displaying that's something like "Wood County Allen High School." So, I need a way to handle duplicate records, should they occur.I've posted the whole program here for reference's sake. Also, I've included a snippet of the XML against which I would be transforming, complete with a duplicate record and everything!

1.) Retaining capitalization.

In order to fix that, instead of replacing the text with the text they typed, you'll need to find the match and replace it with itself, with a span tag around it.I'm not sure about the duplicates though.

Yea, I know I have to find the match. I tried doing that against the array that I created, but it acted kind of randomly. I since deleted that code, but give me til later today, or sometime tomorrow, and I'll recreate it and let you take a look at it. I know how and what to do (in my head, that is), but it's one of those lil problems that are more difficult to solve than you'd think. And darn those duplicates, they're makin' me erngry!
