Actually it isn't, as you would find if you had two "Fruits" columns, for example. As you have it declared, the key is the (string) value of the tr/td[1] element; it serves as a unique identifier iff that value is unique. > 2) How should this be done (assuming mine is not optimal)? This method is fine if you can control your columns so that their top cell's values are always unique. It's not even a bad way to go if limited to 1.0 logic. In 2.0 I would probably just group on the position of the items. > Please note that I realize this does not require using keys (I don't think) but I like using keys because it makes sense semantically. Indeed it does -- even in the sense that it holds up only as long as your semantics do. :-) Cheers, Wendell -- Wendell Piez | http://www.wendellpiez.com XML | XSLT | electronic publishing Eat Your Vegetables _____oo_________o_o___ooooo____ooooooo_^
