In mysql I'd like to do 2 unique LEFT JOINs on the same table cell.
I have two tables.
One table lists individual clients and has a clientNoteID and staffNoteID entry for each client.  clientNoteID and staffNoteID are both integer references of a unique noteID for the note store in the notesTable.

And this XSLT snippet after an identity transform:

I have a table [User] with the following 3 columns:

Is there any built in Javascript/jQuery functions to do this, or I must write my own ?
