I'm only guessing here, but could it be that the namespace prefix core: maps to different namespaces uris at these two points? That's somewhat variable, isn't it? For example: <xsl:template match="main" xmlns:core="something"> <xsl:value-of select="//core:type[@id='publisher_type']/@id"/> </xsl:template> vs... <xsl:template match="later" xmlns:core="something-else"> <xsl:value-of select="//core:type[@id='publisher_type']/@id"/> </xsl:template> or worse... <xsl:template match="worse"> <xsl:value-of select="//core:type[@id='publisher_type']/@id"/> </xsl:template> I know it's a stretch, but these three templates return different results for the same document. -Ray XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
