>From Jeni's reply When you define the key: > <xsl:key name="test" match="title" use="name"/> Then you are setting up a number of associations between 'title' nodes and key values given to them through their 'name' child: node key value title[1] 'Design Patterns' title[2] 'Pattern Hatching' title[3] 'Building Applications' When you use: key('test', 'Pattern Hatching') you are saying "What nodes within the 'test' key have the key value of 'Pattern Hatching'?" So <xsl:key name="test" match="title" use="substring-before(name, ' ')"/> will create node key value title[1] 'Design' title[2] 'Pattern' title[3] 'Building' I assume though I haven't tried it.
