The usual recommendation for creating a node-set conditinoally is: <xsl:variable name="selectclause" select="(//client)[$clientid=''] | (//client[$clientid!=''])"/> or more generically select = then-part[condition] | else-part[not(condition)] In XSLT 2.0 of course you can do select="if (condition) then expr-1 else expr-2" Michael Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
