Corey,
This is a natural for keys. It is bound to speed up processing.
I am trying to get a list of the products that are listed in the <products>
node that are also in the <commission/product> node
<xsl:key name="products-by-id" match="products/product" use="id"/>
-- then when your context node is <client>,
select="key('products-by-id', commission/product/productId)"
should work. (Change the XPath to adjust if you need it from a different
context node.)
(Why is the product ID called 'id' in one place but 'productId' in another?
Should work anyhow.)
I hope that helps. Any good guide to XSLT should explain keys.
Cheers,
Wendell

Problem
-------
I am trying to get a list of the products that are listed in the <products>
node that are also in the <commission/product> node... The way I have above
works.. but it seems to be very slow... I am working with a large amount of
data... but I was curious if there was a better way? $earnerId would be
the current earner I am trying to calculate totals for... Thanks very much
for any help!!
