Thanks for asking about procedure first. Step 1 is always to check the written resources, both in book/magazine form and at helpful websites. http://www.dpawson.co.uk is home to the XSL FAQ, for example. In the case of XPath expressions, you could try one of the evaluators available. Xalan comes with an example that is oriented toward trial-and-error evaluation of various XPath expressions. A mailing list is not a good place for an extended back-and-forth tutorial interchange. If you are at a point where you have one well-focused question that will solve your problem, then you can ask it on a mailing list. Even then, the XSL-list hosted by Mulberry is better suited for generic XSLT/XPath questions. You'll get a more useful response if you show what you already grasp, for example: "I can see that [expr1] gets me the right set of elements, but how do I get the set of @foo attributes of those elements and then blah blah those attributes?" Another popular way to do this is to describe 2-4 filtering expressions and say why each one excludes desired nodes or includes too many nodes. .................David Marston
