> I'm using Saxon 7.9.1 to transform some xml. You should probably switch to saxon 8 as soon as possible, saxon 7 implements some early draft of xslt2 but it is very hard for anyone to remember quite how the language was specified that long ago (saxon 8 has been out some years now, I think). So any answers you receive will probably be based on the current xslt2 draft, which is different in several respects. <xsl:variable name="thissection" > <xsl:sequence select="../myns:section"/> </xsl:variable> Just as in xslt1 you don't want to do that, which forces the creation of a new temporary document and foirces all the nodes to be copied. Just do <xsl:variable name="thissection" select="../myns:section"/> so that $thissection just selects the elements that you want. Without seeing your input I can't say if this is right or not <xsl:value-of select="$thissection/myns:id"/> but as you have it defined $thissection is a document node (/) so "$thissection/myns:id is the top level element of that document if it is myns:id, and empty otherwise. As I defined it $thissection is element node, myns:section, so $thissection/myns:id is the myns:id child of that element. It doesn't look like you want a variable at all, just: <xsl:template match="myns:content" mode="content"> <mysection origSectionId={../myns:section/myns:id}"/> <somedummy>dummy content</somedummy> </xsl:template> David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
