You're absolutely right. For the 2nd part, I've found a solution posted at this forum last year by Albuquerque (http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200301/msg01384.html). The posted code works great - however, if I call this xslt from C# programmatically (by passing 'path' and 'value' as parameters), it never works. Maybe I should try other API to see if it's C# bug. On the other hand, I need to pass in an array of string/value, and I just couldn't figure out how to do it in xslt (without using saxon etc.). Anyway, thanks for all the help I've got so far - this forum is great!

It's a little bit trickier than that, because the XPath expression identified elements to be modified. Evaluating a dynamic XPath expression to give a set of nodes is one thing; writing a stylesheet that modifies the nodes in the result of that expression is another. Also there are multiple expressions, and doing one pass (i.e. a document copy) for each expression sounds expensive. If the expressions are constrained to be XSLT patterns, then it would probably be easier to generate a stylesheet dynamically in this situation. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
