if_first_article inside if_different

hello, I’m trying to make an article list to wrap all articles posted on the same date inside a div like this:

<txp:if_different>

 <txp:if_first_article>
  <div class="dailyTopLinks">
 <txp:else />
  </div>
  </div>
  <div class="dailyTopLinks">
 </txp:if_first_article>

 <div class="toplinksDate">
   <txp:posted format="%e %b %Y" gmt="0" />
 </div>
 <div class="linkScroller">

</txp:if_different>

	<div class="box">	
	 . . .
	</div>

<txp:if_last_article>
</div>
</div>
</txp:if_last_article>

in short: if the date differs and the article is the first of the list we should output: <div class="dailyTopLinks"> otherwise a </div></div><div class="dailyTopLinks"> before any further change in the date.

for some reason, though, the if_first_article seems to isolate the first article reevaluating the date on the second article of the list (i mean: like the first and the second had a different date which is not the case).

does anybody know why that happens? I thought that since the if_first_article is inside the if_different it wouldn’t interfere with the parsing…
thank you

Re: if_first_article inside if_different

Because if_first_article creates different output for the first article compared to the articles that follow, the contents of the if_different gag is different for the second article (compared to the first), so if_different shows the date again.
