That can easily be done using a general-purpose > evaluate() extension that constructs XPath expressions from strings. An apply() function (which simply calls another function whose name is decided at runtime) would be easier to use than a general-purpose evaluate() routine though. Programmatically constructing a syntactically valid XPath expression can be tricky. Apply() would likely also be easier to implement and more efficient than evaluate(). --Joe English jenglish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
