M:D, I understand your confusion, because your point is valid. But, the catch is this I am going to be passing a new a probably different pre-generated XPath expession to the param each time the stylesheet is called. So, instead of hard coding the param into the select it needs to variable. Hope that helps. Thanks, ~Steve On Thu, 27 May 2004 10:53:42 -0600, M.
