Just to add to that - if you don't know what characters might be in the tag element value (i.e. can't write a string that holds them all), you could use the value itself as the first string, and use a *long* list of Xs as the second string: translate(tag, tag, $lots-of-Xs) Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
