Hi all, I have several nodes that are identical. They each have a properties X: <nodes> <node> <X>one</X> <X>two</X> </node> <node> <X>aaa</X> <X>bbb</X> <node> </nodes> In my xsl I have <xsl:for-each select="//blah/nodes"> <nodes> </node> </xsl:for-each> Which is fine for getting each of the nodes out, but problem arises when I try to take out X properties of the individual node in transform. I keep getting all values of all X properties in each node by using <xsl:for-each select="//X">: nodes> <node> <Xs> <X>aaa</X> <X>bbb</X> <X>one</X> <X>two</X> </Xs> </node> <node> <Xs> <X>aaa</X> <X>bbb</X> <X>one</X> <X>two</X> </Xs> <node> </nodes> I'm very new to xsl, haven't been able to find the solution (not even not sure of the terminology). Thank you for your help, C

So be careful with prefixing XPath expressions with //, that way you are always looking at descendants of the root node. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
