So even though it seems as if: <choose> <when x><table aa></when> <when otherwise><table bb></when> ... </choose> </table> wll always generate a matching closing tag, this isn't the way XSLT works, because it doesn't write tags, it writes nodes. The simplest solution here is to use a variable: <xsl:variable name="color"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test='@ODD="O"'>#000066</xsl:when> <xsl:when test='@ODD="N"'>#3366CC</xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <table bgcolor="{$color}"> ... </table> Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
