I'd love to help you, but I think I need a little more information about your set up and how it's going ot be used. How are you going to trigger the dynamic nature of it? You can do something like this a lot of different ways, but it really depends on your set up, when you want to make the substitution, and how you want to use it all. Is this for handling a sort of conditional text in order to generate multiple variants? Or will it be an on-the-fly dynamic content generation sort of thing? What tools are you using? Etc. :) -Katie, XSL geek ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
