I did not mean to give a general solution that would work for all cases, just to indicate that it might be possible __depending__ on what he really wants to do. However, the expression I gave to produce a path to an element (I forget where I found it, it may have just come with Cooktop) could be extended. If the original poster does get unwanted behaviorwhen multiple nodes match, then he will have to work out modifications, or maybe the method can not be made to work. So, Yue Ma, here is your chance to explain more completely what you are trying to accomplish. Cheers, tom P XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
