Yes - you can access the information within the stylesheet using the document() function with an empty string as an argument (i.e. document('')), and then locate the relevant attribute set and display attribute. The test would be: document('')/xsl:* /xsl:attribute-set[@name = 'set'] /xsl:attribute[@name = 'display'] = 'yes' You have to be a *bit* careful with this, because it doesn't scale well if the stylesheet is actually part of a larger application (that includes/imports other stylesheets). I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
