Apart from the fact that you were not using XSL the syntax looked about right (I seem to have deleted your original, so can't check) the number() function would be optional, as the values of the elements should coerce to number anyway. But this assumes xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" If you are using the WD-xsl namespace then that is an entirely different language (and not the subject of this list) and honestly I can't remember how it worked in that dialect. Really if you are, as you say, a beginner you don't want to learn that dialect which is only available on one platform and deprecated even there) If you use the standard XSLT language you'll find things a lot easier. I don't know where you searched but the following sites are good. www.dpawson.co.uk (FAQ for this list) www.zvon.org (nice tutorials) http://www.netcrucible.com/ (FAQ on Microsoft implementations: you want to start here) http://www.jenitennison.com/ (Jeni's site, loats of good tips) or just type wd-xsl into the search box for the archives of this list and you'll see 10001 responses to people explaining why using that old namespace doesn't work with any real XSL system (and how to update IE5 to use XSLT) David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
