This is interesting and infuriating. Maybe someone knows why it happens. I have: <xsl:variable name="enhancementRows"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="//enhancementList/graphic or //enhancementList/text"> 45px,60px,* </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> 45px,* </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> when I test this logic with something that I know should evaluate to false, it works MOST of the time. however, sometimes it doesn't. Meaning what is false is somehow evaluating to true. I tested this as a fix: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="//enhancementList/graphic or //enhancementList/text"> <xsl:variable name="enhancementRows"> 45px,60px,* </xsl:variable> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:variable name="enhancementRows"> 45px,* </xsl:variable> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> and found that it results in an error, at the line with <xsl:choose> in it. So what is wrong with each of these? thanks aaron XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
