Re: Define a key with cross reference

>   note that I have assumed ur context node to be B,
My context node is not necessarily B. Due to the
complex structure of my XML document, To access A, I
have to go through B and I have denined some keys
which can give me B(Let say the key is getB-from-C).
SO when I am in loop of getB-from-C, I want to find
all A elements those match id of C.
So I was wondering whether I could able to achive the
indirect cross reference using meunchian search.
I would appreciate if anybody can help give a look
into the problem.

regards,
