If there existed a string-function split(string,string) which produced a node-set result, one could: <ex @someval="1,2,3,4,5,6,7" /> <xsl:template match="ex"> <xsl:for-each select="split(@someval,',')"> .... </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> Jonathan Borden XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
