Yeah, the compile cycle is irritating, but it allowed you to pick out a particular node via a method without cycling through the whole tree to find it. But I think XPath does the same sort of thing. I prefer the templating approach as well -- I haven't run into many instances where I needed to process something after it's already been generated, although maybe having the capability would open my eyes to such issues :-) Chris -- Chris Winters ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Building enterprise-capable snack solutions since 1988.
