Brian,

That is how I originally had it. Tom tells me to get my html working, it's
not an xslt problem. But it appears to be something I'm doing wrong with the
@url reference...?

Regardless of my template etc., why would THIS work:

	<xsl:template match="link">
 	  <a href="{@url}"><xsl:apply-templates/></a>
	</xsl:template>

and NOT this:

	<xsl:template match="link">
 	  <a href="javascript:window.open('{@url}','Link Window',
'toolbar=1,
			menubar=1, resizable=1, dependent=0, status=0,
 			width=400, height=300, left=25, top=25')">
	<xsl:apply-templates/></a>
	</xsl:template>

Thanks,

Kathy

p.s. to Tom Passin: I only understood part of what you replied, my real
confusion is the   
comment that I shouldn't be using <xsl:apply-templates/> to the above.
Without it, I do not get my link in the document. I'm using recursive
templates to build a work instruction document, applying to <steps>, <para>,
etc. Some of what ended up with was trial and error using responses from
this list. Believe it or not, my xml/xsl now appears to work except for this
one thing!

Why reinvent the wheel?  Just bypass the wrapper function and use
window.open() directly:

<a
href="javascript:window.open('{@url}','MyWin','options-go-here')"><xsl:apply
-templates/></a>

You could put this entire line into another template if you re-use it
frequently.

hth,
