Any of these are XML: <Name>Jack & Jill</Name> <Name>Jack & Jill</Name> <Name>Jack " Jill</Name> <Name><![CDATA[Jack & Jill]]></Name> If you don't make your XML well-formed, it will never get past the parser, which is what tells the XSLT parser what logical structures (elements, attributes, etc) are in the document. The parser requires well-formed XML, because otherwise how is it supposed to know when your markup characters ("&" "<" ">" and sometimes "'" """) are really just ordinary character data? -Mike XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
