 Hello Ragulf, here are some online tutorials which should help www.zvon.org www.topxml.com www.bayes.co.uk www.dpawson.co.uk and i would heartedly suggest obtaining any of the good books that are out there, esp. Michael Kay's XSLT Prg Reference. u may find that simple questions get answered quickly here, almost too quickly i think, but consistent posting of basic type questions may illicit grumbles. good luck, jim fuller ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ragulf Pickaxe" <jawxml@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 1:05 PM Subject: RE: Getting name of and element > Well, first it seems that I am a bit slow, perhaps :( > > I did write "name()" in my code, not just "name" as I did here. > > The problem with when to use the differnt XPath(?) expressions is that I > don't know what is legal and what isn't.
