I think we are more concentrating on the Logic to get what we want and
not the fact that there were commas and linefeeds etc..
The loop was important. Thaz what I posted.. I suppose that quite
understood here in this group .

I did not specify if it was a HTML or a Text or  XML.. I am not sure
how u assumed it was HTML..  I am not sure if there was any HTML
element in my stylesheet. Again.. The Intention of posting a reply is
to lead the original poster towards a solution..

I am not sure if you understood what you said or what I said.. If the
person who asked the question actually used the <xsl:message> as u
suggested, I am afraid, unless he was running his transformer in the
command prompt or some form of std out, he will never be able to see
the results... and using the xsl:message here is misusing it and will
be no use if you the developer wanted to use the values.. Thaz why the
value-of select is for.. I suppose and i am sure everybody here agrees
that the default way that comes to thinking of any xsl developer to
out put a value would be xsl:value-of select ..


What else can I say ???
