Like this: <xsl:key name="cat-by-firstocc" match="link" use="substring(title,1,1)" /> You don't need to worry that the key is defined against every possible document; the document to be searched is determined when you call the key() function. > > Also, i have never created an xsl which only uses imported > files before. > What do i perform the translation against, an empty xml file? > In XSLT 1.0 there has to be a source document but your stylesheet can ignore its contents. In 2.0 you can start the transformation at a named template, which means there doesn't need to be a source document. Michael Kay
