Now I am scratching my head trying to remember just what were the situations I could not get what I wanted with position() within a for-each block. I do remember times like that, but not details. Must have been a long time ago. But it is clear in the Rec, just what David says (of course!) - "The template is instantiated with the selected node as the current node, and with a list of all of the selected nodes as the current node list." Sorry to be promulgating mis-information :-( Cheers, Tom P XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
