It doesn't, so $edits is always false. Then you're trying to select those nodes in $edits whose position is less than 6. But $edits is false, it doesn't contain any nodes, so the selection is meaningless. I think you wanted $edits to be an expression which is evaluated later: that's not the way it works. You don't need variables at all here, just: <xsl:for-each select="faqs/faq[id!=edit_id][position() < 6]"> <xsl:value-of select="question"/><br/> Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
