I should add that this approach will still be subject to error. Character references and entity references in the file will be expanded before XSLT processing begins. Also, whitespace-only text nodes will not be counted because such nodes are stripped from the stylesheet before processing begins. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
