Re: XPath to match attribute with multiple values...?

Darn...

Well, it looks like that is exactly what I want to do, but the engine I 
am using uses libxml which only implements XSL 1.0. Again, thanks for 
all the quick responses! Manos, thanks for checking it out and pointing 
me in the right direction. And Michael, you are the wisest of the 
wise...I have read many of your articles and they have been infinitely 
helpful to starting my journey into XSL :).
Everyone else, keep helping make this one of the most active mailing 
lists I have ever seen.
