(In fact, it's not a hash-lookup at all unless you use a key - it's likely to be a serial search on most processors). Write <xsl:key name="packcode" match="ROW" select="packcode"/> and then replace the above code with <value> <xsl:for-each select="$packtypetree"> <xsl:value-of select="key('packcode',$packinfopacktype)[1]/modultxt"/> </xsl:for-each> </value> The for-each is not an iteration, it's needed to establish the current document for the key() function.
