Chris, >When I use the AVT, it won't advance past my fisrt URL, but I use a value >of select for what is displayed on the screen and that advances fine: Presumably this is inside a template matching 'patn' or a xsl:for-each iterating over them, e.g.: <xsl:template match="patn"> <A HREF="/details?pn={/hitlist/patn}"><xsl:value-of select="." /></A> </xsl:template> Look at the XPaths you're using. To get the content of the link, you're using a '.', which means 'get the string value of the current node'. In the AVT, you're using '/hitlist/patn', which means 'get the string value of the 'patn' child(ren) of the 'hitlist' document element'. /hitlist/patn will always give you all the 'patn' children of the 'hitlist' element. Node lists are converted into strings by taking the string value of the first node in the node list - in this case the first 'patn' element ('1'). So you always get the same answer. What you wanted was the string-value of the current 'patn' element - exactly the same as you're using as the content of the link itself: <xsl:template match="patn"> <A HREF="/details?pn={.}"><xsl:value-of select="." /></A> </xsl:template> It's odd that you managed to get the right value for the xsl:value-of but not the AVT. AVTs work in exactly the same way as the 'select' expression of xsl:value-of - if you want the same value, use the same XPath! ;) I hope that clears things up, Jeni Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
