Hi Ken, ------------------------------------------------------ Can you try something along the lines of:

<TotalImages value="{count(//img)}"/>

I don't know if you are using namespaces in your source or not, so the above might have to change. ------------------------------------------------------

<TotalImages value="{count(//img)}"/> <xsl:value-of select="count(//html:img)"/> <TotalImages/>

Worked a treat so thank you.

Then you would need value="{count(//html:img)}" to get the namespace correct for the attribute.

I have a problem with the <TotalImages value="function">, however this is not crucial. I get the exact string entered in the brackets back e.g. "{count(//img)}"

Ah ... that tells me our XSLT processor is not conformant in that it is not recognizing an attribute value template in a literal result element's attribute. This surprises me as most XSLT processors are very conformant in this regard. Please check your work. . . . . . . . . .
