Yes it did, thank you very much!

The use= attribute is calculated relative to the node matched.
You are matching on title so you need to express use= as relative to the
title element.
BTW, the use of text() may happen to work but it is a bad habit to get
into. So very (very!) rarely have I ever needed to use text(). If you
want the text value of an element, simply address the element.
I hope this helps.

I am trying to use a key to return the errata_section title elements,
given the device_name element attached to the parent errata_section.
The structure is like the following:
<errata_section>
<title>Bug title 1</title>
<devices_impacted>
<device_name>Mod1</device_name>
</devices_impacted>
<devices_impacted>
<device_name>Mod45</device_name>
</devices_impacted>
,

,
</errata_section>
<errata_section>
.

.
</errata_section>
As several devices maybe addressed in a given errata_section element, i
was trying to write a key to pull out, for a given device, ALL the
errata_section titles that impact this device name. (Ideally for
inclusion into a table based on the device name.
I wrote the following thinking this might work:
<xsl:key name="bugtitlekey" match="errata_section/title"
use="errata_section/devices_impacted/device_name" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="key('bugtitlekey', 'Mod4')/text()"/>
</xsl:template>
I don't get any output when i try this. I thought my key def was ok.
Do i need to go deeper per each errata_section element?
