They're both a bit verbose because you need to have an xsl:value-of (or two) to get your expression's result into the message or variable, but it's not complicated. These two debugging techniques are surprisingly seldom mentioned, but I find them really useful. Francis. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
