A key needs to be set up as a generic reference. As such it wont accept variables or the document function as values. Simply set the values of use and match to the elements or attributes you are trying to index and then within your stylesheet use it with the key function within a block of code whose context is set to the point where the values of the xpath contained in the match and use attributes evaluate correctly. See Jeni Tennisons site for a better understanding of how to use keys with variables and/or the document function. http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/index.html Best of luck... <M:D/> -----Original Message----- From: John-Mark Gurney [mailto:jgurney@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 12:28 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: using document in xsl:key match... I am using the libxslt from the GNOME project (http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/). I would like to confirm that this is a bug, and not a design issue. I am trying to use xsl:key to index a set of elements from another document. When I try to do: <xsl:key match="document('ed.xml')/root/sup" use="@name"/> I get: XPath error : Invalid expression //document('ed.xml')/root/sup ^ compilation error: file tb.xml line 7 element key xsl:key : XPath pattern compilation failed '//document('ed.xml')/root/sup' It appears that a // is being prepended to my XPath query, which is causing it to fail. Is this suppose to be a valid construct (using document in an xsl:key match term)? Or is this a bug in the library? After additional reading of: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#NT-Pattern It appears this construct is not allowed. Is this correct? -- John-Mark Gurney nCircle Network Security, Inc.
