Maybe that is where I have gone wrong, I assumed that the key
definition is context aware. So to write the select expression as I
have as "field" would suffice in the case that my context is record;
the immediate context from record is field.
I have written keys, and use them quite a bit, but this one's twist is
the fact that I am driving off on the name attribute.
key_fld of 'NeedCode'. Your expression that uses the predicate directly only
selects the field elements that are children of the context node. Without
So, If the current context is "record", where "record" has a bunch of
"field"(s) for child elements, shouldn't this key lookup work?
<xsl:key name="key_fld" match="field" use="@name"/>

Subject: Re: [xsl] Keys (easy one) match on name()
I have this key:
<xsl:key name="key_fld" match="field" use="@fieldname"/>
I set this variable:
<xsl:variable name="current_need" select="key('key_fld','NeedCode')"/>
I get:
HI
Without the key, I get the correct value of:
MD
Here is the definition without the key:
<xsl:variable name="current_need"
select="field[(_at_)fieldname='NeedCode']"/>
What am I doing wrong?

I've tried this, but doesn't seem to work:
<xsl:key name="key_fld" match="field"
use="name()"/>
I've also tried:
<xsl:key name="key_fld" match="field"
use="@*[name()]>
Thanks for the help.
