RE: FW: key, generate-id, ignoring my template

That did help, but now I am having trouble getting the children <covrg_desc> to print for each key row-plan_desc-page.
I am only getting the first instance of <covrg_desc> to print for each vBenePlan.
Thank you.

Hi,

No, actually, I believe your problem is the variable definitions.
They return you nodes from the whole document, instead of just the context
node...

It's ok (even obligatory) to have the *key* definitions as children of the
xsl:stylesheet, but you probably want to move the variable declarations into
the matching template, and while you're at it, go for compound keys, like

<xsl:key name="row-plan_desc-page" match="row"
         use="concat(ancestor::page/@name,
           ' ', plan_desc)" />
<xsl:key name="row-heading-page" match="row"
         use="concat(ancestor::page/@name,
           ' ', heading)" />

In combination with:

<xsl:template match="/form/page/pcp">
  <xsl:variable name="vBenePlan"
                select="row[generate-id() = generate-id(
                  key('row-plan_desc-page', concat(
                    ancestor::page/@name,' ',plan_desc)))]" />
  <xsl:variable name="vHeading"
                select="row[generate-id() = generate-id(
                  key('row-heading-page', concat(
                    ancestor::page/@name,' ',heading)))]" />
...

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Andreas
