xsl:key and parameters?

[Raj Muchhala <rmuchhala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Hoping someone can shed some light on this.  I decided to rewrite some of my
xsl to make use of the 'xsl:key' element and am finding that invoking it
with a parameter does not work.  What am I doing wrong??  [Code below will
make things more clear]

PS - I am using MSXML30, IE5.5 & msofts parser

TIA,
