I'm sorry if it seams like that. I do appriciate your help and you all gave
me a lots of ideas. It wasn't my intension to say that I've found the answer
just by my self, that is not true. it was simply a case of putting the right
tag in the right place.
I would like to thanks to every one that help me, expecialy to David.
And yes, you probably are wasting your time with me for I do not have
anything new to show you and you probably have a lot to teach me. I aknolage
your spanking and turn away.

Do you get the feeling you're wasting your time with this guy? I think this
thread accounts for about 20 minutes of your life that you will never get
back. He gives you not even an acknowledgement, and then says 'OH I FOUND
THE
ANSWER: <xsl:apply-templates select="BLOCK"/>'
*smacks forehead*
I have my charitable days where I educate a dozen newbies, but half the time
I
end up deleting my email before I finish it, thinking "Why am I wasting my
time with this person.."
Guess I'm becoming cranky in my old age.
