Am I now forced to normalize-space? No, just stop putting all that whitespace in your stylesheet. The stylesheet is parsed into an XPath node tree just like the source doc, so when you have whitespace adjacent to non-whitespace text, all of the text goes into a single text node. Start using xsl:text elements in your stylesheet to portion off the text. Also consider using concat(). <xsl:attribute name="href"> <xsl:text>results.asp?ax=9</xsl:text> <xsl:if test="string($meetid)"> <xsl:value-of select="concat('&meetid=',$meetid)"/> </xsl:if> <xsl:value-of select="$Query"/> </xsl:attribute> Mike -- Mike J.
