Can anyone help? If the name of the image is in your XML, this is easy. For example, if your XML looks like: <root> <pictures> <picture> <src>picture.jpg</src> </picture> </pictures> </root> your XSL could do: <xsl:template match="pictures"> <!-- Do some HTML --> <xsl:element name="img"> <xsl:attribute name="src"> <xsl:value-of select="picture/src"/> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> <!-- Do some more HTML --> </xsl:template> Of course, this can also be done (more concisely) as: <xsl:template match="pictures"> <!-- Do some HTML --> <img src="{picture/src}"/> <!-- Do some more HTML --> </xsl:template> Finally, if your XML looks more like (with multiple pics): <root> <pictures> <picture> <src>picture.jpg</src> </picture> <picture> <src>picture2.jpg</src> </picture> <picture> <src>picture3.jpg</src> </picture> </pictures> </root> you can: <xsl:template match="pictures"> <!-- Do some HTML --> <xsl:apply-templates/> <!-- Do some more HTML --> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="picture"> <img src="{src}"/> </xsl:template> OR <xsl:template match="pictures"> <!-- Do some HTML --> <xsl:for-each select="picture"> <img src="{src}"/> </xsl:for-each> <!-- Do some more HTML --> </xsl:template> If you have some different format or permutation in mind, let us know, and we can try to help out. -Brett XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
