The issue doesn't appear to be with format-number, but substring-after (i.e., substring-after(node(),'Amount: $')). But your point is well taken, as we've recently migrated to JDK 1.4.1; I'll see if the currency format is also causing issues. thanks, b. | brian martinez brian.martinez@xxxxxxxxxxx | | lead gui programmer 303.708.7248 | | cheap tickets, part of trip network fax 303.790.9350 | | 6436 s. racine cir. englewood, co 80111 | | cendant travel distribution services http://www.cheaptickets.com/ | XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
