Hi there, my first post. http://exslt.org/exsl/functions/node-set/index.html has an example using a result tree fragment variable named "tree". Except the stylesheet doesn't use the variable. It does: <xsl:value-of select="count(exslt:node-set(//*))" /> This just counts the nodes in the source document, which you could do equally well with <xsl:value-of select="count(//*)" /> I think you mean <xsl:value-of select="count(exslt:node-set($tree)//*)" /> or something like that. It's a confusing example because both the tree variable and the source document have almost the same number of nodes, so 5 seems a reasonable answer. It doesn't even use the source document. I would leave out the source document altogether and say "Result (with any XML input)" Cheers, -- =S Page www.macromedia.com senior Site Engineer Passive voice sucks the life out of correspondence.
