Ah! Surely you would just use the position of the selected group child node then? <xsl:key name="groupKey" match="group/*" use="local-name()" /> <xsl:template match="column"> <xsl:for-each select="key('groupKey', @name)"> <xsl:value-of select="/root/descriptions/description[position()]" /> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> -----Original Message----- From: florian [mailto:csshsh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 28 March 2003 14:06 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] xpath question hi! > A very strange structure if you don't mind me saying! i know.. its not really clear yet if im able to change it though : / > If you assume that the description nodes are in the same order as the equivalent column nodes > (which in your example is not the case!!) : thats the point. the description nodes are just in the same order as in the group nodes. since they relate together. the first child node in a group node would be an apple for example, so the first child node in the descriptions node, would have to be the description node for the apple. > It is not obvious in your example how the description elements relate to the column > elements other than the fact they have the same fruit...!?! > > A far better structure might be: > <root> > .. > <order> > <column name="orange" description="this is an orange"/> > <column name="apple" description="this is an apple"/> > </order> > .. > </root> that would be for sure the most simple solution. the problem is though that the description nodes and the order nodes are in real-life coming from two different xml documents. so i would have to kinda pack them together with xslt first, which would make things also kinda akward. : / ciao! florian XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list Visit our website at http://www.rm.com This message is confidential.
