Like I've mentioned before, it's useful to be able to look at all stages of the transformation. > My XML file: > <cd id="1"> > <cd id="2"> Word of warning. In the XML world id attributes tend to be special (depending on the tools for specifying, but assuming a classical approach) and shouldn't start with numbers. The id would typically be something like c1, perhaps. I don't think this will cause an error necessarily at any point, but it might in some tools. > <h2> > <a href='javascript:void(0);' onClick="toggle('$id')"> ^^^^ I think you're trying to do attribute value templates. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#attribute-value-templates. Remember XSLT doesn't know anything about the output format. So if you do this it will literally put out toggle($id) (view the generated source). > <div style="display:none" id="$id"> ^^^^^ And here you assign all the elements the literal id value $id. Hence there's a conflict in ids, and browsers will behave unpredictably. Most will probably just grab the first element with that id. You really do need to make sure you have some way of viewing the generated html page. Either using view generated source via a plugin or browser setting or generating using a stand-alone processor. This would have been much easier to notice had you done this. Both elements have the id $id, and both javascript calls toggle the function $id. You might want to look more into event listeners with Javascript for how you're setting it up once you are more comfortable with the language, but I won't get into any detail (highly OT). Jon Gorman
