Other processors have a similar extension function node-set(), look it up in the procesor specific dokumentation. Depending on the problem you want to solve, you probably don't need this extension function. Try the following style sheet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:data="uri:some.uri.you.control" exclude-result-prefixes="data"> <data:monthnames.tf> <mnth name="January"/> <mnth name="February"/> <mnth name="March"/> <!-- snip, to keep the example short --> </data:monthnames.tf> <xsl:template match="month"> <xsl:value-of select="document('')/*/data:monthnames.tf/*[number()]/@name"> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="node()"/> </xsl:stylesheet> This should output the name of the month for each month element in your source XML which has a month number as its content. Well, at least if you complete the monthnames array properly. The technique is based on the fact that elements with a non-XSLT namespace are allowed in style sheets (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.html#stylesheet-element, last paragraph), and that document('') reads the stylesheet itself. The "exclude-result-prefixes" ensures that the data namespace is not copied through into the output. HTH J.Pietschmann XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
