Hi Klaus, > It was impossible for me to access the contents of the referenced > DTD in a XML - Doc with MSXML 1.0 I think that's still the case, even through navigating the DOM, although it seems you can get (XDR) schema definitions with relative ease. Anyway, you can't do it with XSLT 1.0 - there's no XPath access to the DTD. There are two possible workarounds. The first will only work if all the possibly options are covered in your document. If they were, you could find the unique values for the attribute in the document by defining a key: <xsl:key name="attr-values" match="NODE" use="@ATTR" /> and then iterating over the NODEs that are first in the list returned by the key for that particular @ATTR value: <SELECT ...> <xsl:for-each select="//NODE[count(.|key('attr-values', @ATTR)[1]) = 1]"> <INPUT TYPE="option" VALUE="{@ATTR}" ... /> </xsl:for-each> </SELECT> The other thing that you could do is define a schema that holds information about the options rather than a DTD. Since the schema is XML, you can access it from within the XSLT using the document() function, and then gather the relevant values from it in the normal way. I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
