Alex, >It was actuallly putting the string {count(*)} as the value of colspan. >I did find something that works though: > <xsl:attribute >name="COLSPAN"><xsl:eval>selectSingleNode("column-header").childNodes.lengt h</xsl:eval></xsl:attribute> If that (IMO monstrosity) works, then you might also have luck with: <xsl:attribute name="COLSPAN"> <xsl:value-of select="count(*)" /> </xsl:attribute> If the attribute value template (i.e. the {count(*)}) didn't work, then at a guess you're probably using a really old version of MSXML, and you would be better off if you updated to the new, more compliant version, or switching to a different XSLT processor. >A quick question about this XML DOM Reference- is the syntax in there >specific to Microsoft and IE? Or can this be used with any parser? It >doesn't say on they site... Some of it is specific to Microsoft and some of it is stuff from an XSLT Working Draft. The xsl:eval element, which you use, for example, isn't part of XSLT 1.0, and if you intend to use it, you should put it in a different namespace to indicate the fact.
