In what way doesn't it work? All that XSLT does is allow you to create the HTML page from XML rather than the HTML page being static; the HTML page that you create using XSLT should otherwise look exactly the same as the original HTML page, including any <link> element, and then work in exactly the same way in terms of styling. Perhaps you're getting an error because you've tried to include the above tag in your XSLT stylesheet without closing it? Remember that the XSLT stylesheet must be a well-formed XML document, which means all the tags must have closing tags. When the XSLT generates an HTML document (using the html output method), any elements that shouldn't have a close tag (such as the <link> element) will be serialized without a close tag. So try: <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title>TEST</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles.css" /> </head> ... </html> </xsl:template> Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
