Good idea, but couldn't I simply do this:

<xsl:param name="fruits">Apple Orange Guava</</xsl:param>

and then tokenize? tokenize(<xsl:value-of select="$category"/>, "\s+")

With tokenize, how do I iterate over the results?

Thanks for the help.

Kent,
wouldnt passing a xml schema list help ?

e,g,

<xsd:simpleType name="fruitType">
  <xsd:list type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:element name="fruits" type="fruitType"/>


<fruits>Apple Orange Guava</fruits>

Within your stylesheet, you could tokkenize it [use the XPath Function
tokenize() and use whitespace as the delimiter]  and use each item
within the list.
  e.g. somethng like tokenize($fruits,' ')
