No, in the second template you are comparing state to the string '$st': > <xsl:value-of select="row[state='$st']/city" /> and there is no "state" element in your source.xml with string value "$st". Must be: <xsl:value-of select="row[state=$st]/city" /> ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
