I modified this page for my own use, well governmental use. The link to the actual xml is: http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/RSSByLocation?open&location=Headquarters I get an error message that there is a missing"';'. " in the area of the '&location'. Any idea what that could mean? Thanks for helping a newbie along.

  It thinks that "location" is an entity reference for which you forget the closing delimiter. If any of that doesn't make sense, then you need to learn some more basic aspects of XML before you get too far into an application like that.

  
  I think that the http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/ mailing list would be a better place for such questions.

    What I found to work is to reorganize the xml to make the "src" a child of RSSChannel and then wrap it as a CDATA and then have the xsl applied to ./src instead of @src. This has an added benefit (and how I found it) in that it can now read ampersands, such a google (news) searches, etc., that don't end in .xml or .rss Thank you, Bob, for this! Note: it also helps to drop it into a frameset and have the a-link point to the right frame. Ciao!
