How about <xsl:variable name="secpos" select="ve[entrydata/text = 'security']/@pos"/> You didn't specify what the current context is for the evaluation, so I assume the parent element of the ve elements. Note that XPath string comparisions are not case-insensitive. Cheers, Jarno - Velvet Acid Christ: Fun With Knives XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
