<xsl:copy-of (or apply-templates, depending on what you want) select="/article/answer[@ref=current()/@id]"/> If the ref attribute is of declared in a DTD to be of type ID it's simpler select="id(@ref) but I guess that isn't the case. You could use keys to speed up the first form declare a key <xsl:key name="ans" match="answer" use="@ref"/> then you can use <xsl:copy-of (or apply-templates, depending on what you want) select="key('ans',@id)"/> which is equivalent to the first but may be faster (well that bit is almost certainly faster but you pay the price of building the key table in memory which takes time and space so it depends a lot on the size of the document and how often you are doing the lookup) David -- http://www.dcarlisle.demon.co.uk/matthew ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
