Hi mccarl,

Thank you very much  it worked .. can you please let me know the purpose of "."  in

<xsl:value-of select="." />

The "." simply refers to the current node that is being processed. In this case the template has matched a "type" attribute on a "Caption" element (and we haven't done any other processing that changes what node is the current node) so the current node in this context is the "type" attribute. So the xsl:value-of returns the value of the current node which is the value of the type attribute. And due to the <xsl:attribute> element that is around it, that means we are creating an "id" attribute that contains the value-of the "type" attribute.

Hope that helps, and I'm glad that it is working for you!
