Hi Elise, > what does it mean summarize ? (sorry i'm french ), well i know the > word but don't see how it could look like... a summer text ? I think Francis was talking about grouping the results, so for example you'd get all the results with a Project Site of 'Paris' grouped together. If you want a real challenge, try to have it so you have multi-level grouping with the mix of fields determined by the user. So for example, they could say: "group by Project Site and Status" and you'd get something like: Paris Go Microsoft Visio 10 VS Help 07/04/2001 IT0SEO1001 Morgan Stanley-Shareholder... IBESEO1107 Complete ... London Go ... Complete ... or they could say: "group by Status and end date" and you'd get something like: Go 01/04/2001 - 01/05/2001 Microsoft Visio 10 VS Help 07/08/2001 IT0SE01001 Paris 01/05/2001 - 01/06/2001 ... No date Morgan Stanley-Shareholder... IBESE01107 Paris Completed 01/04/2001 - 01/05/2001 ... 01/05/2001 - 01/06/2001 ... You could also try creating separate frames, one holding the table and another holding a more detailed description, with links between them. Allow users to filter according to whether the end date is in the past or not, or indeed on any parameter they choose. Give some summary information, like the number of projects in Paris, the number with a Status of 'Go'. Make the XSLT more generic so that you only have to edit a simple XML file to change the general look of the page. Allow the user to switch between a view when the result elements are rows and one where they are columns. In the table, without grouping (but perhaps with sorting), merge the cells that contain the same value as their neighbours. I'm sure that's enough for you to be getting on with :) Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
