 Your one XSLT stylesheet can match nodes from different documents just by saying: I tried that a number of different ways, but still had to fall back to the multiple pass methods... So I'm clearly not understanding... I have a description file <Descriptions> <Description name="a"><Para>Description for <subname />With Lookup Name A</Para></Description> <Description name="b"><Para>Description for <subname />With Lookup Name B</Para></Description> <Description name="c"><Para>Description for <subname />With Lookup Name C</Para></Description> </Descriptions> and I have my file that I need to insert those elements into <Items> <Item><Name>Item A</Name><InsertDescription lookup="a" /></Item> <Item><Name>Item B</Name><InsertDescription lookup="b" /></Item> <Item><Name>Item C</Name><InsertDescription lookup="a" /></Item> <Item><Name>Item D</Name><InsertDescription lookup="c" /></Item> <Item><Name>Item E</Name><InsertDescription lookup="a" /></Item> </Items> Each InsertDescription needs to lookup the corresponding Description/@name and insert the full contents (so, for a lookup="a", I get '<Description name="a"><Para>Description for <subname />With Lookup Name A</Para></Description>') So, it sounds like I'd do this <?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?> <xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'> <xsl:output method='xml' version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1' omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/> <xsl:key name="descriptionlookup" match="Descriptions/Description" use="@name"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document('descriptions.xml')/descriptions"/> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="InsertDescription">
<xsl:value-of select="key('descriptionlookup',@lookup)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="@lookup" />
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> but I'm not getting any results aside from the Item name's being output... XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
