Hi How can I detect the type of an item? eg. to define a function with a parameter to take a string or a node: <xsl:param name="item"/> xsl:choose <xsl:when test="[i]type-of/i = node()"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$item"/> </xsl:when> xsl:otherwise <xsl:value-of select="$item"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> Thanks, Bruno
