I'm not sure I understand your question fully, but I'll assume that your stylesheets each look for a single node in the input tree to transform. If so, then you could check for the presence of an error condition at the beginning of the transformation: <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:choose> <!-- you may need to use "ERROR//some-node" instead --> <xsl:when test="ERROR/some-node"> <!-- report error condition --> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <!-- perform transformation as usual --> </xsl:otherwise> <xsl:choose> </xsl:template> If an error in the XML formatting occurs, does it move the problem node to the ERROR node-set so that it doesn't appear in its normal place in the tree? If so, you could have two matching templates--one which outputs whatever your error message is, and one to transform the normal input: <!-- Error handling --> <xsl:template match="/document/ERROR/some-node"> <!-- etc. --> </xsl:template> <!-- Normal operation --> <xsl:template match="/document/some-node"> <!-- etc. --> </xsl:template> Even if your node-set still appears in the rest of the input tree, you could add the error-handling template to the beginning of your current stylesheet, which would allow you to output error messages and meet your "minimum invasion" criterion. hth, b. | brian martinez brian.martinez@xxxxxxxx | | lead gui programmer 303.708.7248 | | trip network, inc. fax 303.790.9350 | | 6436 s. racine cir. englewood, co 80111 | | http://www.cheaptickets.com/ http://www.trip.com/ | XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
