Since =01 is the same as =1 (you didn't put the number in quotes, so it's a number, not a string), there's no need for the leading zero.. perhaps you meant "01" (with quotes). Shouldn't matter, though.. the string comparison should not provide different results than the numeric comparison. <xsl:value-of select="'01'=1"/> and <xsl:value-of select="'01'=01"/> should both give you 'true' ... do they? If not, what XSLT processor are you using? File a bug report! Meanwhile, try this solution: <xsl:variable name="months" select="'January February March April May June July August SeptemberOctober November December '"/> <xsl:value-of select="concat(normalize-space(substring($months,1+9*(substring($date,5,2)-1),9)),' ')"/> Mike -- Mike J.
