You might be able to use an extension function to pass the base64 encoded text to an external implementation which can decode and dispose of it as a side effect, or even return it as an object. But even so, you won't be able to embed that data in the serialized output produced by the XSLT process. The transformation, even in with the "text" output method, will only produce output based on the abstract node tree that is constructed, and you can't put binary data in that tree. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
