Hans, the param instruction is a way of getting in params from the outside world into XSLT processing, they are passed via command line or if controlling transform with JAXP or javascript or whatnot there are methods for supplying the stylesheet with the data. In addition, params can be supplied to named/matched templates, which is another use. a variable instruction just holds a constant variable, both param and variable have scoping rules, eg. if a variable is declared within a template / for-each then it is only scoped and thusly available within that local scope. I would suggest looking up both at the XSLT FAQ www.dpawson.co.uk cheers, jim fuller XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
