All template matches are fixed and cannot be constructed at runtime. If you want to have truly dynamic template matching check out Demtire's FXSL (http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/). The usual way of handling cases when the number of possible outcomes for the variable are known, is to have: <xsl:template name="foo"> <xsl:param name="$element"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$element=" ...">...</xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$element=" ...">...</xsl:when> and so on for each possible value of $element. Other ways include using the vendor:evaluate() extension function, or to construct a stylesheet from a stylesheet where the match attributes of the second stylesheet are constructed by the first. cheers andrew XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
