Hello, i'am trying to speed up some xslt's and i want to use the xsl:key tag to
accomplish this. Now there is one problem for me. How kann i use a document loaded with
the document function into a variable to create a key on the elements inside of the
loaded document. Or better are there any other methods to do something like that. I
tried something like: <xsl:variable name="types"
select="document($mytypes)"/> <xsl:key
name="typekey" match="$types/mytypes"
use="@name"/> or <xsl:key
name="typekey" match="document($mytypes))/mytypes"
use="@name"/> but always getting a syntax error. Is there any
way to speed up access.... thx for light...

Just use <xsl:key name="typekey"
match="mytypes" use="@name"/> The key
definition applies to all documents: the actual document used for retrieval is
determined when you call the key() function. Michael Kay PS: this is a general XSLT
question, nothing specific to Saxon, so it's better to ask it on the xsl-list at
