In this catalog.xml file i have two books who have the same inventory i.e 20 . I want to write a xsl file that will display the most number of copies of a book in a catalog .if there are two or more books of the same inventory then they have to be displayed .

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="catalog3.xsl"?>

<!DOCTYPE catalog SYSTEM "catalog.dtd">
<catalog>
<Book>
   <sku>12345</sku>
   <title>Beauty Secrets</title>
   <condition>New</condition>
   <current_inventory>20</current_inventory>
   <price>99.99</price>
</Book>
<Book>
    <sku>54321</sku>
    <title>Picturescapes</title>
    <current_inventory>20</current_inventory>
    <condition>New</condition>
   <price>50.00</price>
</Book> 
<Book>
    <sku>33333</sku>
    <title>Tourist Perspectives</title>
    <condition>New</condition>
    <current_inventory>0</current_inventory>
    <price>75.00</price>
</Book>
<Book>
    <sku>10001</sku>
    <title>Fire in the Sky</title>
    <condition>Used</condition>
    <current_inventory>0</current_inventory>
    <price>10.00</price>
 </Book>

below is my catalog3.xsl file which is able to display only one out of the two books

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:variable name="max"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
    <body>
  <h2>Titles of Books for which Most Copies are Available</h2>
    <table border="2">
      <tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>No of Copies</th>
          </tr>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </table>   
       </body>
      </html>
     </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="catalog">
<xsl:for-each select="Book">
<xsl:sort select="current_inventory" data-type="number" order="descending"/>
  <tr>
  <xsl:if test="position()= 1">
  <p><xsl:value-of select="$max = "/></p>

    <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
    <td><xsl:value-of select="current_inventory"/></td>
  </xsl:if>
  </tr>

could anybody correct me to achieve my goal of displaying all the copies having the same maximum inventory in the catalog . Thanks .
