Hi Tanz, > e.g. <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> > <div> > <input size="55" name="orgname" type="text" maxlength="200" > value=<xsl:value-of select="organisation"/>> </input> <!-- here is the problem-->> > </div> > This obviously does not work. Whenever you find yourself wanting to put an xsl:value-of as the value of an attribute, use an attribute value template instead. If you wrap an expression within {}s in an attribute value, then that expression is evaluated, and the result is inserted into the attribute value. So use: <input size="55" name="orgname" type="text" maxlength="200" value="{organisation}" /> You can use xsl:attribute instead, but there's no point unless you like typing a lot: <input size="55" name="orgname" type="text" maxlength="200"> <xsl:attribute name="value"> <xsl:value-of select="organisation" /> </xsl:attribute> </input> [Note: If you find the latter works and the former doesn't, then you're using an old version of MSXML.] > 2.

So if you generate the XHTML: <option value="org 2" selected="selected">Org 2</option> Which is equivalent to the HTML: <option value="org 2" selected>Org 2</option> I don't know where you're getting your various option values from, but you probably want to test whether orgType is equal to the option value and then add the attribute if it is: <option value="org 2"> <xsl:if test="orgType = 'Org 2'"> <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if> <xsl:text>Org 2</xsl:text> </option> I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
