It's not passed as a string it's a node set of 1 (or more likely) no attribute nodes. however the AVT {} syntax and xsl:value of will both coerce this node set to a string, empty in the case of an empty node set. > Is there a way to do what I'm attempting? pass in a string with the name of the attribute not the attribute itself. <xsl:with-param name="att" select="'mfg_name'"/> then ="{@*[name()=$att]}" David XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
