For example given the following XML file which could contain hundreds of images, is it possible to output a randomly selected set of 3 <imglibrary> <img src="1.jpg"/> <img src="2.jpg"/> <img src="3.jpg"/> etc... </imglibrary> The output could be something like: <img src="53"/> <img src="74"/> <img src="81"/> Thanks in advance for your help -- David Elsmore IT Development Manager School of Social Sciences and Law Oxford Brookes University Tel: 01865 484176 email: delsmore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
