hi In my main books.xml document being processed I have a number of books, as follows: <books> <book> <title>Hamlet</title> <author>Shakespeare</author> <publisher>Peares</publisher> <pagecount>120</pagecount> <weight>500g</weight> </book> <book> <title>The Perfume</title> <author>Sueskind</author> <publisher>ABC</publisher> <pagecount>230</pagecount> <weight>256g</weight> </book> </books> in a second reportDef.xml I want to define a report list, as follows: <reportDef> <col title="Book title" field="title" type="text"/> <col title="# pages" field="pagecount" type="number"/> </reportDef> Now, with xsl I like to generate a report. Until now it looks like: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="text" indent="no" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/> <xsl:variable name="reportDef" select="document('reportDef.xml')"/> <xsl:template match="books"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$reportDef" mode="header"/>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="book"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="book"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$reportDef" mode="data"/>
 </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="col" mode="header"> <xsl:value-of select="@title"/>; <!-- this one is no problem--> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="col" mode="data"> <xsl:variable name="fieldname" select="@field"/>; <!-- here I want to print the book property $fieldname, but I can't access the main xml books --> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> The problem is, that I don't see the books.xml from within the reportDef templates (<xsl:template match="col" mode="data">). Also when I pass the book node by param to the template there is no content in this node! I would be very happy if anybody could give me a hint Thanks very much Stefan
