Re: output an apostrophe

  but meanwhile I came with the problem that what if I want to output the
  string 
  child::*[name()='label']/@val_id
  on screen... 
  cud not solve this... :(.... is there a solution to this??

as I said in the message you quoted, that it just a character string and
doesn't need any special instructions:

<xsl:template
match="xxx">child::*[name()='label']/@val_id</xsl:template>

would put the string

child::*[name()='label']/@val_id

into the output given an input element <xxx>

If you want more help you'll need to show a -small- input document and
the output you expect.
