Thanks, that worked for both LotusXSL and XSL:P. I was under the mistaken impression that id() would only select children of the current node unless I explicitly started from the root node.

This is because you start from the root rather than from the current node. See if this works any better: <xsl:value-of select="id(@product)/@name"/> John_Velonis@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm trying to convert the following XML to HTML using XSL: > > <?xml version="1.0"?> > > <vendors> > > <org name="Organization 1"> > <builds product="p1"/> > <builds product="p2"/> > </org> > > <org name="Organization 2"> > <builds product="p3"/> > </org> > > <product id="p1" name="Product1"> > </product> > > <product id="p2" name="Product2"> > </product> > > <product id="p3" name="Product3"> > </product> > > </vendors> > > Here's my XSL stylesheet.
