The display logic at the two places are little different. I see (b) and (d) should work for my situation, I just don't know how to use them :( I tried to use (d) like the following: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"> <!-- get a copy of shipto element --> <xsl:variable name="ShipTo"> <xsl:copy-of select="/pick/addressinfo/shipto"/> </xsl:variable> ...... IE5 respond with "Keyword xsl:variable may not be used here." What I did wrong here? Also, when I use it, can I just use it like the following? <xsl:value-of select="ShipTo/firstname" /> Much thanks, Xiaocun Xu mailto:xxu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
