The HTML output method is a clever little beast and knows that the content of an 'href' attribute is a URL, and should be escaped like one. You have four escaped characters that are making your URL look funny: two %0A (line breaks) and two %20 (spaces). This is because the value for the href that you're putting in is: " US1234 " which is due to the formatting of your source XML. You can get rid of line breaks and spaces from the value using the normalize-space() function. So try: <A href="/details/{normalize-space(prodnum)}">...</A> instead. Or change your source so that it's: <product> <prodnum>US1234</prodnum> </product> I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
