Josh,
This is something shameful, but it works: <xsl:template match="mood">
<xsl:for-each select="//*[position() <= rating]">
<div class="moodbar">
<img src="layout/global/pics/mood-red.gif" alt="" />
</div>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>When this was first introduced a couple of years back, there was a discussion of how best to get a large enough set of nodes (the critical bit to avoid having this trick be painfully expensive ... *at least* bind that //* to a variable to avoid traversing it all the time): <xsl:variable name="plentynodes" select="//*"/> <xsl:for-each select="$plentynodes[position() <= rating]">... Note: it is *not* a loop, and is only iteration in some particular sense.

As the number appears only once and there are no nodes to count or group I'm a little bit stuck.
