Well XSL is by design a side effect free language, which means that if you need to pass information from one place to another, you need to make that explicit. Mainly the advantages of this approach are that it makes programs easier to read and maintain:-) Of course there are plenty of languages that are not side effect free. perl for instance, or omnimark, or, ... so if you don't like this approach perhaps XSLT isn't for you? (I could mention saxon:assign but I won't as it is such an evil thing breaking the purity of the design:) David XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
