Thanks. I would rather do this way: <Whatever> <true/> </Whatever> or <Whatever> </Whatever> if not true. Yu could perform the test this way: <xsl:template match="Whatever"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="true"> Choice is true </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> Choice is false </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> This is more readable and efficient in my opinion. -- Michel CASABIANCA mailto:casa@xxxxxx http://www.sdv.fr/pages/casa XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
