Steve -- in XSLT 2.0 the key() function allows a third argument to provide a context for the retrieval; that's what it's doing in Ken's example. In 1.0 we get around that by using a for-each instruction to change context to the document wherein sits the node we want.

Commonly when we do this we have to bind variables outside the call to for-each, to use inside the key(). The 2.0 call to key() is thus more concise in two ways: lots less side-stepping.

Actually since the hint was in Mike's original answer, you've been given the answer to your question (how do you do this in 1.0) twice now. I suppose it doesn't count if you don't know that's what it is.

Okay, enough from me -- I didn't follow the top of the thread carefully either (Mike, Ken and Dimitre all being more than competent to help), so I'm at risk myself --

Cheers,
Wendell

Please assume that Dmitre is trying to help and did not understand your
inquiry.  Instead of fussing at someone who is trying to help, or
assuming that the person has not read your previous posts, clarify
your question.

On XSL-List it is generally a good idea to assume that everyone is of
good will, and that if your question is not being answered it was not
understood. OK?
