hi there, i was wondering anyone could help me out on this question...
suppose i have such structure...

<people>
<male>
 <person>
   <name>
     <first_name>Alan</first_name>
     <last_name>Turing</last_name>
   </name>
   <profession>computer scientist</profession>
   <profession>mathematician</profession>
   <profession>cryptographer</profession>
 </person>

 <person>
   <name>
     <first_name>Richard</first_name>
     <middle_initial>M</middle_initial>
     <last_name>Feynman</last_name>
   </name>
   <profession>physicist</profession>
   <hobby>Playing the bongoes</hobby>
 </person>
...
</technic>

<female>
<person>
   <name>
     <first_name>Shelia</first_name>
     <middle_initial>M</middle_initial>
     <last_name>Feynman</last_name>
   </name>
   <profession>mathematican</profession>
   <hobby>Jogging</hobby>
 </person>
...
</female>
</people>

my question is, i wish to transform it into a html format, is it possible to add an id to all the profession? will i be able to have the same id for identical profession? (e.g profession for mathematican will be the same regardless whether it is in the male element or female element)if no, is there a way to get round the problem?

furthermore, i seen Andrew provide a solution for Yan for selecting an element dynamically, however, i was wondering how would i achieve similiar result using xalan and xerces?

many thanks

Kit
