the generated_id thing was just a way of hard-coding the generate-id() thing i had been using so i could make the xsl xml independant. You could call "generate_id" "tobythedog" if you wanted but it still dosn't work. The problem seems to come from using the seem id (whether hard-coded or generated using generate-id() ) across 2 different page-sequences..... does this make sense... i could on the other hand just be thick... thanks anyway

I tried with it and it works fine.
