Hello, I'm new to the world of xml xsl and ccs, but I'm trying to give it a go. I seem to be having a problem loading an image defined in my xml file as: <character> <portrait>../../virgilart/WorkingOnIt/sphere-01.jpg</portrait> ... <character> I retrieve the value in my xsl and trim off the ../ with the following: <xsl:variable name="portrait-image"> <xsl:call-template name="left-trim-all"> <xsl:with-param name="text" select="character/portrait"/> <xsl:with-param name="target" select="'../'"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:variable> Then I try to display it in a table with: <img src="($portrait-image)" width="175" height="175"/> ... but it won't display. So, I replace the line above with another line to see if it is returning the correct string: <xsl:value-of select="($portrait-image)" /> returns: virgilart/WorkingOnIt/sphere-01.jpg, which is what I want, since the virgilart folder is a subfolder of where the xsl and xml files are located. if I hard code the value into my xsl file, the image works fine. Eg: <img src="virgilart/WorkingOnIt/sphere-01.jpg" width="175" height="175"/> displays my image beautifully. But I can't leave it like this because each time the xml file will have a different image. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Nigel
