The key being the ORDER of elements in push being decided by the order in the source document, while the order of elements in the pull method being decided by the stylesheet. You're "pulling in" the value, as opposed to letting the XSLT processor "push" the value to you in the order it finds it. The match attribute is just a filter. Oh, I agree completely. There's no "pull" or "push" element in XSLT, it's an analyst-derived distinction that's helpful for teaching the processing system. Like OO design patterns, they're not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines and techniques that are helpful. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 larry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
