Thank you Jon, but I still get 'Keyword xsl:variable may not be used here.'

You say you are using the current XSLT spec - maybe that is what is wrong
with my document.  I am linking to:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"
xmlns:HTML="http://www.w3.org/Profiles/XHTML-transitional">

Is this now out of date?

cheers alex

several

<xsl:variable name="a" select="number('2')"/>
<xsl:variable name="b" select="number('5')"/>
<xsl:variable name="sum" select="$a + $b"/>
sum is <xsl:value-of select="$sum"/>

To access an attribute:

<mytag myattrib="9"/>
<xsl:variable name="a" select="number(mytag/@myattrib)"/>

This is using the current XSLT spec. The Microsoft engine is a year out of
date.
