The other problem is that you're using double quotes to delimit the attribute value itself, so you can't use them within function arguments. You also can't do test="contains($text, ''')" because this is parsed as test="contains($text, ''')" If you use single quotes for the value of the test attribute, you can write: <xsl:when test='contains($text, "'")'> some stuff </xsl:when> hth, b. | brian martinez brian.martinez@xxxxxxxxxxx | | lead gui programmer 303.357.3548 | | cheap tickets, part of trip network fax 303.357.3380 | | 6560 greenwood plaza blvd., suite 400 englewood, co 80111 | | cendant travel distribution services http://www.cheaptickets.com/ | XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
