> Sorry for the (stupid ?) question, however, is there any > provision for associative arrays in XSLT ? XSLT doesn't do arrays of any sort. It does however do XML which is much more fun, and allows more interesting structure than an array which is of necessity rather rectangular. if you have a map.xml that looks like <foo> <bar in="name1" out="MyName"/> <bar in="int4" out="finalInteger"/> ... </foo> Then you can do <value-of select="document('map.xml')/foo/bar[@in=name(current())]/@out"/> > I am wondering if > any has example hash functions already lingering around > their computer. If the map file is big and you want the system to use a hashed lookup use a key, map file as above but use <xsl:key name="map" match="bar" use="@in"/> <xsl:for-each select="document('map.xml')"> <xsl:value-of select="key('map',name())/@out"/> </xsl:for-each> David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
