Re: xsl:key function help

Hi,
Tempore 17:02:15, die 08/03/2005 AD, hinc in xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx scripsit David Preuss <d.preuss@xxxxxxxxxxx>:

as a newbie I tried to play with the key function but didnt get it.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:key name="Categories" match="Tip" use="@Topic" />
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
	
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:value-of select="count(key('Categories',Topic))"/>
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

<xsl:value-of select="count(key('Categories',Topic))"/>
'Topic' is interpreted as 'child::Topic' : the child element (of the current node) named 'Topic'.

A correct value could be:
<xsl:value-of select="count(key('Categories','Microsoft'))"/>

regards,
