Yes. Use: <xsl:if test="ACCTTYPE = document('')/*/my:Types"> . . . . . . </xsl:if> Where my:Types is a child of xsl:stylesheet, defined like this: <my:Types> <type>AAA</type> <type>BBB</type> <type>CCC</type> <type>DDD</type> <type>EEE</type> </my:Types> and the "my" prefix is globally bound to some namespace of your choosing. ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
