The reason is that the javascript (not in this case but in others) passes node sets to the application. I am sure its not needed like that in the long run but in the short term there is a demo in a few weeks, I am new and in no position to start throwing my weight around. > It is at any rate not considered a good thing to have scripted > extensions inside of ones xslt as it interferes with cross-processor > portability and also could make life difficult for future maintainers of > your application.

I personally hate that as I am a mac osx user by choice, a linux and windows c++ programmer, windows c# programmer and osx objective C programmer so I don't like that restriction. That however is a battle for another day! Woody XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
