Re: [xsl] Trying to check if key is NOT found

Hi Russ,
For whatever it is worth, I wouldn't use a key to do this type of
thing, since you don't actually care about which node may have an
@Target attribute matching the href in question.

Assuming you have a processor that makes use of the map extension, you
can simply find all valid @Target elements, set them as the domain for
a map and then evaluate any given @href you want to see whether it is
an entry in the map:

First, you can create your map as so:

      <xsl:variable name="target.map" as="map(xs:string,xs:integer)">
         <xsl:map>
            <xsl:for-each-group select="//element()[@Target]"
group-by="string(@Target)">
               <xsl:map-entry key="'#'||current-grouping-key()" select="1"/>
            </xsl:for-each-group>
         </xsl:map>
      </xsl:variable>

Then to determine whether a given href is valid or not, you just have
to test whether $target.map(@href) equals 1.  If the href does not
match any @Target element, then $target.map(@href) will be empty.
