It does not indicate alternate paths, really, although in practice it might often seem that way. There are limits as to where in an expression you can use it. You can start with a node-set and refine it, but you can't reference a node-set (the union of xpath2 and xpath3) as if it were the child of another node-set (xpath1). (/xpath1/xpath2|/xpath1/xpath3)/xpath4 should work for you. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown, fourthought.com | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | personal: http://hyperreal.org/~mike/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
