Thank you folks.

If you're using XSLT 2.0 rather than XSLT 1.0, then a better way to do it is: string-length($VAR1) ge $VAR2and string-length($VAR1) le $VAR3 XSLT 2.0 introduced the scalar operators eq, ne, lt, gt, le and ge, which compare single values rather than lists, which is what XSLT 1.0 comparison operators do. They are therefore safer to use when you're comparing single values and they don't run into syntactic difficulties. Sam. ------------ Sam Wilmott sam@xxxxxxxxxx
