    I ended up changing some other code show that i had the id to work with. however cant seem to work out why this isnt working. after i get a member i can display them

          with this...<xsl:value-of select="$member"/>... and it works fine, showing the member and all their properties. 

          but when i just want to show on property...<xsl:value-of select="$mxml/firstName"/>.. nothing is returned even though there is definitely a value there?

    OOPS <xsl:value-of select="$mxml/firstName"/> is actually <xsl:value-of select="$member/firstName"/> i changed the variable name so it made more sense on here.

    Hi Phil.

    Could you try to show us what the XML output of this is:

    <textarea>
       <xsl:copy-of select="$member"/>
    </textarea>

    And you are totally sure that your alias is spelled firstName right? Not using a capital F or a lowercase n or something like that.

    <xsl:value-of select="$member/*/firstName"/> fixed this.

    Ahh yeah of course. When you use the GetMember extension like that, the returned XML looks something like this:

    <node id="1060" nodeType="1070" email="some@mail.com" ...etc...>
        <firstName>MyFirstName</firstName>
        <lastName>MyLastName</lastName>
        ...
        ...
    </node>

    That's why the $member/firstName didn't return any value.

    Like you said you can use the star(*)-selector, or else you should use the $member/node/firstName to be a little more specific. But that's your choice :)
