Hi Carl, Your main problem is that you're jumping out of context in the = title =20 template: this should fix it: <!--orange box title--> <xsl:template name=3D"rightcolumntitle"/> <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"@title mode=3D"right-box-title"/> </xsl:template> =09 Since each right-box is now wrapped in a "rightcolumn" element, I don't =20= think the modes are necessary any longer: you can apply the box styling =20= at the level of the rightcolumn element rather than the html element, =20= and wind up with simpler XSL: <!-- Main page template--> <xsl:template match=3D"/"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test=3D"string-length($rightboxlen)!=3D0"> <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"/cms:wrapper/cms:source/page/rightcolumn"/>= </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> <!--orange box text--> <xsl:template match=3D"rightcolumn"> <div class=3D"right-box"> <div class=3D"right-box-title"> <xsl:value-of select=3D"@title"/>=09 </div> <div class=3D"right-box-body"> <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"html"/> </div> </div> </xsl:template> -Alex On Jan 26, 2005, at 4:37 AM, Carl Barrow wrote: > Yeah sure, here=92s the basics from the template.
