I appreciate everything that I have learned from list so far and > would hate to get new people afraid to ask questions. yes, but u probably learned that when u ask a question to have an example xml, example xsl, desired result and some sort of useful description of what you want to do, and you get a better response; its a 2 way street. In general, I agree with your comments, but it helps to have done just a little bit of research, the list shouldn't be where a 'book' / 'website' / 'reference' / 'search engine' should be, otherwise we would be answering questions purely about syntax.... which albeit 80% of the questions are....and normally can be found with the aforementioned materials. its normal to expect a replace function in most computing language, the interesting thing I quess is that we could easily have answered that there is no replace() function; which of course would be a valid response. cheers, jim fuller XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
