Re:  Ancestors and Imported docs
Oh (Eric), I forgot to add....

<xsl:variable name="number" select="count(link)"/>
<xsl:for-each select="link">
<xsl:if test="position()&lt;$number">
<a href="{@href}" style="color:#{$color}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a> |
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="position()=$number">
<a href="{@href}" style="color:#{$color}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

Is kind of odd. For one, check out the last() function -- means you don't need that $number variable. Also, could (should) be an xsl:choose since they're exclusive conditions. Or, more simply:


  <xsl:for-each select="link">
   <a href="{@href}" style="color:#{$color}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a>
    <xsl:if test="position() != last()">
      <xsl:text> | </xsl:text>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>

See what I mean? :->

Cheers,
Wendell
