Any help. The sample XML for that is as > follows: > > <MESSAGE> > <CONFIG> > <FILES> > <SERVER>sdangel03</SERVER> > <PATH>tms</PATH> > </FILES> > <SERVLET> > <SERVER>jjdamukaitis01</SERVER> > <PORT>7001</PORT> > </SERVLET> > </CONFIG> > </MESSAGE> You can't dynamically generate the string that is used in an ENTITY definition. However, you *can* do this if, instead of using an ENTITY, you store the string as a global variable, and then refer to it as such. You can store the CONFIG element from (let's say) message.xml, in a variable using the document() function to access the root node of the document, and an XPath to access the CONFIG element from there: <xsl:variable name="config" select="document('message.xml')/MESSAGE/CONFIG" /> Now, the base URL for the files can be generated by concatenating the FILES/SERVER and FILES/PATH together, with a '/' separator and prefixed with 'http://': concat('http://', $config/FILES/SERVER, '/', $config/FILES/PATH) If you're only accessing this information once, then you could just use that, but otherwise it's worth putting it in a variable: <xsl:variable name="file-base-url" select="concat('http://', $config/FILES/SERVER, '/', $config/FILES/PATH)" /> Then, you can include this variable within your XSLT, either using: <xsl:value-of select="$file-base-url" /> or, if you're within an attribute, using an attribute value template: {$file-base-url} In your case, for example, you can do: <xsl:template match="/"> ...perform some code... <img src="{$file-base-url}/images/name.gif" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="//Names/Name" > <xsl:sort select="FN" /> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> I hope that this helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
