Hi Martin,

Thanks for your tip ...

This sounds like exactly what I need but I gave it a try and couldn't 
get it to display.  That's a shame.

Sorry about not sending the XML.  Below are excerpts from the XML and 
XSL files (I want to display the 'LangFrom' field in the title) ...

Excerpt from XML ...
--------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="OpenJobs.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<dataroot>
<job>
  <job_id>8029</job_id>
  <Status>A</Status>
  <job_Title>Report 2005</job_Title>
  <Action_pers>Hansen, M</Action_pers>
  <LangFrom>EN</LangFrom>
  <LangInto>DA</LangInto>
  <job_Pages>0.5</job_Pages>
</job>
<job>
  <job_id>7948</job_id>
  <Status>C</Status>
  <job_Title>Update of OrgaChart</job_Title>
  <Action_pers>Hald, B</Action_pers>
  <LangFrom>EN</LangFrom>
  <LangInto>DA</LangInto>
  <job_Pages>1</job_Pages>
</job>
</dataroot>

Excerpt from the XSL ...
------------------------
...
<xsl:template match="dataroot">
<html>
<head>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
	... some javascript here
</script>

</head>
<body>
<h1>Language: <xsl:value-of select="/job/LangFrom" /></h1>

<table width="95%" border="1">
  <tr bgcolor="#dddddd" VALIGN="TOP">
   <td class="head" onclick="sort('job_id');">Job</td>
   <td class="head" onclick="sort('Status');">On Hold</td>

Code goes on to display the grid in this table ...
-------------------------

Maybe you have an idea why this isn't working?

And I was wondering if I need to include an 'apply-template' statement 
too?  e.g.  <xsl:apply-templates select="job">

Thanks very much for your help.

Alan Searle
