If passing a node-set, it is usually the case that you pass just the one element node; you can use XPath expressions to obtain its descendants and attributes. <xsl:template match="foo"> <xsl:apply-templates select="path/to/some/coolNodes"> <xsl:with-param name="aNodeSet" select="some/foo/descendant"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="coolNodes"> <xsl:param name="aNodeSet" select="/.."/> <!-- default: empty set --> <xsl:text> number of nodes in aNodeSet: </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="count($aNodeSet)"/> <xsl:text> number of child elements of all of those nodes: </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="count($aNodeSet/*)"/> </xsl:template> Is there a particular problem you are having? - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
