<xsl:for-each select="database/computer[$search = $searchparam]">" a variable holds a value not an unexecuted expression so whether the variables search and searchparam hold the same value or not does not depend on the current node. database/computer[$search = $searchparam] is the same as database/computer or the same as /.. depending on whether or not tehse are equal. $search is "@owner" so your expression is equivalent to database/computer["@owner" = $searchparam] and you will get the whole node set if searchparam is also the string "@owner" and nothing otherwise. I suspect you want database/computer[@*[name()=$search] = $searchparam] David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
