This has nothing to do with the // shorthand. If you give a node-set in the select attribute of xsl:value-of, the text node that is created will contain the string-value of the first node in the set. If your current node has a couple of 'foo' element children, like: <foo>hi</foo> <foo>hello</foo> then <xsl:value-of select="foo"/> will give you 'hi' only. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
