The squiggly expansions are only allowed in non-match/non-select attributes, at least as I read the spec, because the expansion of those is explicitly defined, and doesn't contain references to the squiggles. In fact, they are EXPLICITLY barred within the []s as comparison MUST be made with "literal text" (See [32] in the WD) > The problem we have - and I think lies at the root of your > problem too - is the need to specify a filter that deals with two > contexts, when both are variable. IF expansion was allowed and IF the select/match string was pre-expanded (ie before being tested) then I wouldn't have a problem either ... 8-) Alistair XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
