Thank you to Michael Kay and Wendell Piez for their help with processing context and paths. George Cristian Bina your comments about namespaces were appreciated. I am struggling to find any clues in the examples of xsl:key in the text xslt books about to use xsl:key to retrieve the contents of an element. Or as Wendell Piez described it "the use of a key to perform node traversal according to an association between nodes". Here is an simplified example of the type of xml input I need to read: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Teams_and_Players> <Teams> <Team name="Man Utd"> <TeamPlayer>{0EA17FA0-D21B-4F1E-8B11-A250A6CF266C}+00000000</TeamPlayer> <TeamPlayer>{1F3E974C-F180-45EB-AB59-4D1ACF4BB855}+00000000</TeamPlayer> <TeamPlayer>{3F9BEEE0-35DB-4835-A89E-F2B240EC2CB0}+00000000</TeamPlayer> </Team> </Teams> <Players> <Player id="{0EA17FA0-D21B-4F1E-8B11-A250A6CF266C}+00000000" name="Gary Neville"></Player> <Player id="{1F3E974C-F180-45EB-AB59-4D1ACF4BB855}+00000000" name="Louis Saha"></Player> <Player id="{3F9BEEE0-35DB-4835-A89E-F2B240EC2CB0}+00000000" name="Ryan Giggs"></Player> </Players> </Teams_and_Players> The xslt written to list the teams and players is : <?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml"/> <xsl:key name="player-id" match="Teams_and_Players/Players/Player" use="@id"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="Teams_and_Players"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Teams_and_Players"> <Teams> <xsl:apply-templates select="Teams"/> </Teams> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Teams"> <xsl:apply-templates select="Team"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Team"> <Team> <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="TeamPlayer"/> </Team> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="TeamPlayer"> <Player> <xsl:value-of select="key('player-id', @id)"/> </Player> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Currently the following is output: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Teams> <Team>Man Utd <Player/> <Player/> <Player/> </Team> </Teams> Has anyone got any clues about what is wrong with? <xsl:key name="player-id" match="Teams_and_Players/Players/Player" use="@id"/> or <xsl:value-of select="key('player-id', @id)"/> Best regards, Mike This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, proprietary and intended solely for the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
