I suppose #160 is slightly more likely to work, but any reasonable XML parser should handle both and produce a byte containing 10100000 (in binary) either way. &#NNN; is a notation where NNN are taken as decimal digits, while &#xNNN; causes the digits to be taken as hexidecimal, also known as base 16. In hex (as its friends call it), "A" is the digit for ten, so A0 is a ten in the sixteens place plus zero in the ones place, converting to 10*16 + 0 = 160 decimal. Character #160 should not be confused with #32, which is the "normal" space character. If <xsl:value-of select="' '" /> has a "normal" space between those single quotes, that's what you'll get. .................David Marston XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
