Martin has already posted a correction to this but your code reposted has the same error [@id='{$ThisHotelID}'] That is testing if @id is equal to the string '{$ThisHotelID}' whereas you want to test if it is equal to the value of the variable $ThisHotelID so that would be [@id=$ThisHotelID] incidentally two more general observations {} are not special characters in xpath you should _never_ use then in xpath (unless you want them as part of a string literal). They are used in xslt to _surrpound_ xpath expressions in attribute value templates a use which is possible precisely because these braces are not used in xpath. don't go <xsl:variable name="ThisHotelID"><xsl:value-of select="document(file/@href)/Hotel/HotelID" /></xsl:variable> when you could go <xsl:variable name="ThisHotelID" select="document(file/@href)/Hotel/HotelID" /> the latter is less to type and a lot more efficient, as it binds the variable to the HotelID element, rather than generating new document node with a new text node child with string valuue the value of teh HotelID element.
