Your problem lies somewhere else, which is not possible to tell without having your code available. Below is an example of using the sum function: xml source: ---------- <elements> <element count="2" /> <element count="1" /> <element count="4" /> <element count="3" /> </elements> stylesheet: ---------- <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="text" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:value-of select="sum(elements/element/@count)" /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Result: ------ 10 Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
