It'll be parsed as: * * (* * (* * (* * (* * (* * *))))) The odd *s meaning 'child elements' and the even *s being the multiplication operator. This is one of the beautiful quirks of XPath :) Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
