Thanks, Gordon. However,
<xsl:value-of select="$b_level_total/CNT"/>
seems to work fine!? Basically, it does not take the string but it picks the entire node and then goes one step down to the CNT node.
I am using Xerces 1.2.1, Xalan 1.2.1 and fop 0.15. Do you know of any extension functions and do i need to download something to be able to make use of them?
Thanks for your inputs,
Regards,
Krish

You can't use a variable as a select expression:
<xsl:value-of select="$b_level_total/CNT"/>
is illegal, as are the other uses of $b_level_total in your example.
Off the top of my head, select each value with $b_level_total and pass them
in as parameters. Some parsers have extension functions that allow you to
select using a variable.
