Team;

I'm kindof a newbie around these parts :)
I'm trying to replace TAB characters (&#09;) with </TD><TD>.. so that I
can properly align this XML into multiple cells in a table.

yes-- right now it is living as XML, tab delimited data.. and I want to
push it into 5 different cells.

here is the result: it's displaying this in IE instead of under view
source:
0.1</td><td>29-Sep-2004</td><td>Draft</td><td>Dba
Hooker</td><td>Initial Draft0

under view / source; it's displaying a similiar thing but it shows up
as HTML tags; instead of as HTML source.

thanks SO much for your help guys!!

here is my template call
--------------------------------------------------------------------
<xsl:template match="Property[@name='CHistory']">
        <xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
        <xsl:with-param name="text"><xsl:copy-of select="."
/></xsl:with-param>
        <xsl:with-param name="from">&#09;</xsl:with-param>
        <xsl:with-param name="to">&lt;&#47;td&gt;&lt;td&gt;</xsl:with-param>
        </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

here is a replace-string function I've found
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<xsl:template name="replace-string">
   <xsl:param name="text"/>
   <xsl:param name="from"/>
   <xsl:param name="to"/>

   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="contains($text, $from)">

    <xsl:variable name="before" select="substring-before($text, $from)"/>
    <xsl:variable name="after" select="substring-after($text, $from)"/>
    <xsl:variable name="prefix" select="concat($before, $to)"/>

    <xsl:value-of select="$before"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="$to"/>
       <xsl:call-template name="replace-string">
     <xsl:with-param name="text" select="$after"/>
     <xsl:with-param name="from" select="$from"/>
     <xsl:with-param name="to" select="$to"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>            
</xsl:template>
