RE: How to do for-each on nodeset returned by key() function

2002-09-23 14:30:08
I have a declaration like this:

<xsl:key  name = "nodeInfoMap" match= "//nodeInfo" use = "name"/>

Now when I do key('nodeInfoMap', @name) at some context, more 
than one nodes are returned. i.e.

count(key('nodeInfoMap', @name) ) > 1

In other words there are more than one nodeInfo with same 
name but other
children/text() could
be different. Now, I wish to do a for-each loop over the 
nodes. I tried 

<xsl:for-each select='key('nodeInfoMap', @name)'> -- DID NOT WORK

This code is correct. If it didn't work, then your error was elsewhere.
Perhaps the context node wasn't the element with the @name attribute.
