Re: [xsl] XSL For-Each Help!

Rusty,

These turned out to be pretty simple errors to make (and fix):

In your data (as posted yesterday), the elements in the predicates 
are CanOrder and CanShip, without "Flag" appended.

Here, you want generate-id(key('itemsbydistributor',.)[1], no 
"current()". If that was my error, I apologize. :-) (If this is a 
global variable, current() is probably returning the root node. You 
want the value of the DistributorCode.

Here you want value-of select=".", since the context is already the 
DistributorCode.

Alternatively, you could select
 //ItemAsSold[generate-id()=generate-id(key('itemsbydistributor',DistributorCode)[1])]

and then get the value of its DistributorCode.

I hope that helps.

Do you get the concept, anyhow?

Cheers,
Wendell
