They do use variables. the restriction on not using variables in patterns was a half baked attempt to avoid circularity in variable definition (a variable's definition might depend on patterns) but it is more of a syntactic irritation than a real restriction. instead of doing match="*[$x=$y"] you can do match="*" <xsl:if test="$x=$y"> so you can always get the same effect with a bit of effort (which means that the restriction doesn't prevent circular definitions and so is in fact useless, XSLT2 drafts have dropped this restriction David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
