The mode attribute of xsl:apply-templates is not an attribute value template (AVT), so the above is the best way to do it. You might want to compare the above to a predicate-based system: <xsl:template match="[EMAIL PROTECTED] = 'vdtPTD']"> There may be better optimizations on predicates than on modes. XSLT 2.0 will allow one template to be in effect for several modes, FWIW. .................David Marston
