Have the following in your code globally defined: <someprefix:Values> <Value>bob<Value> <Value>joe<Value> <Value>ben<Value> </someprefix:Values> Assign this to an xsl:variable like this: <xsl:variable name="vValues" select="document('')/*/someprefix:Values"/> Then your test will be: @name = $vValues/Value When a string is compared to a node-set, the comparison is true if a node (from the node-set) exists for which the comparison is true. 2. You can use the id() function -- look at: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/muench.html#d196e227 Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
