Hello Joseph, another subject line to the same problem ??? Again... I cannot discover what your xslt has to do with your xml, but to output your xml as desired you can do something like (I assume for the B2 and B3 elements to be directly contained in some element A): <xsl:template match="A"> <xsl:apply-templates select="B2"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="B2"> <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/> <xsl:variable name="url" select="following-sibling::B3[$pos]"/> <xsl:value-of select="."/> <xsl:text> (</xsl:text> <a href="{$url}"> <xsl:value-of select="$url"/> </a> <xsl:text>)</xsl:text> <xsl:if test="position()!=last()"> <xsl:text>, </xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> Note that you cannot change a variable's value inside a template, as you tried in your (at least therefore not working) stylesheet fragment. So I introduced a template for element B2, and then use the variable $url exactly one time on each run through the template to query the relating url content. I used a second (the first) variable $pos to store the position of the B2 element, as the position() function inside the predicate for B3 as in "following-sibling::B3[position()]" would correspond to the B3's position, not to B2's. Hope this helps, Markus __________________________ Markus Abt Comet Computer GmbH http://www.comet.de ---------- Von: Joseph Tan Gesendet: Donnerstag, 31.
