Perhaps you did xsl:value-of by >mistake? this brings up an interesting question. which is preferred, using xsl:copy-of or putting the XML in CDATA tags, and using value-of? I suppose it depends quite a bit on if the data is content or construction - i.e. is his "Some HTML <b>here</b>" actual content, or is it part of the structure of the XML document? I think my position is that his would probably be content, therefore the data should be in a CDATA block, and he should use value-of.... of course if he doesn't have control over the XML, then I guess he must use copy-of. so, am I off base in my assessment of the line between content and structure? --- Eric Vitiello Perceive Designs <www.perceive.net> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
