Re: Keys with different parents, but same name

Wendell

Thanks for pointing me in right direction.  This
indeed worked.  But did not solved the problem :-(. 
The reason for using different keys is there could be
different types of groups and styling/rendering would
change accordingly.  For brevity, i had mentioned only
field and fieldGroup.  May be to resolve this I think
will have to look into design stuff.
And another doubt is regarding the way of changing the
context node to fieldHeaders document, if we use
<xsl:for-each ...> wont this reduce the performance? 
I might be wrong here.  
<xsl:variable name="keyvalue"
select="concat(@id,'-')"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$fieldHeaders">
   <xsl:value-of select="key('label-by-field',
$keyvalue)"/>
</xsl:for-each>

Thanks,
Ganesh.
